Hi...
I am a new axolotl owner. My 2 axies arrived friday evening from a lovely guy named AxolotlChris who was very helpful with all my incessant questions before they arrived. They have a bare bottomed tank as they have always been used to it. I think i may have already learned that i overfed them yesterday morning with frozen bloodworms i gave them 2 cubes (defrosted first) so last night i didn't give them any pellets. Mine are around 4 months old i think the youngest might be about a week or 2 younger.
So far i feed them 2 times a day. Frozen bloodworms first thing in the morning about 7ish and then some small pellets in the late afternoon about 4:30ish as i work part time and have to leave after 5 on those days. I use a syringe to take away left over food and any waste.
I do have a question. Mine weren't originally used to each other as they came from 2 places but they have had a few run ins... My wildtype (Draco) touched faces today with my Leucistic (baby) and then proceeded to push her into the wall.... Is that bullying??
Baby to be fair did climb over Draco yesterday and rather nudged him out the way. I haven't seen any nipping or biting so far. So i am not sure if it's a friendly thing.
Also my Leucistic (Baby) keeps putting her bum up.. I think that may have been due to overfed as it is currently down now but does seem to keep going up a bit off the floor.
I keep finding small white eggs in one of the fake plants... Should i be worried as i didn't think they would lay eggs until atleast 5 or 6 months old? (Not sure which one did it)
I took the fake plant out and washed them all off.
