Hey peoples,
I have a five month old leusistic axolotl named Toby, he's six inches long and a happy healthy boy, but he hasn't pooed in bwteen 24 and 48 hours. he eats one rosy fish for breakfast and gets turtle pellets, bloodworms and the occasional earthworm throughout the day. I upgraded to a 30 gallon tank, but he was stressed and wouldn't adjust so i put him in a ten gallon. he's eating and happier than i've ever seen him before, (i've had him since the 16th of last month) but he isn't pooing.Is there anything i can do? should i stop feeding him for a day or two?
 
As they get older, they poop less. Days can go between poops in my adult tanks, and they have 3 axies each. So, as long as no other symptoms, this is normal. Just keep taking good care of him and he will be fine. :happy:
 
He made one. Thanks! I guess i was just paranoid.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
