My axolotls leg recently disappeared so I assumed that my other axolotl had gotten hungry, and I thought "oh well it will grow back," but recently today I woke up and noticed that his other leg seemed as if it were decaying off. Is he sick? Should I separate him from my other axy? Help from anyone would deeply be appreciated. -Bubba |

Have you checked your temperature and the water quality (ammonia, nitrItes, nitrAtes)? If anything, water changes won't hurt, might help. If you don't have a test kit, look into getting one, in the meantime, there are places that will test water for you for free. Separating would be a good idea, giving your injured axie a chance to heal. |

Limbs can be chewed off, but they can also "rot" off. If it could be a hungry tankmate, separate them. If you think it's rot, then you need to think about water quality and temperature as likely culprits. How long has the tank been running? What's the temp?

I've had the tank for atleast 3 months and just last week or so the first leg came off, I'm going to go to the pet store later as you suggested to get a test kit. Do you think I should try a salt bath? Thanks for the suggestions. -Bubba |

the white stuff is just hanging off, but i also noticed that where his other leg used to be 9the first one he lost) is a little paw, so maybe its caused by stress? I'm going to try the salt bath tommorow morning cause I'm turning in now, night' everyone. -Bubba |
