Hello, I've received a wildtype axolotl with missing feet about almost a year ago and it's feet have not grown back. No progress has been made. They still look the same as they did since day 1 of receiving her. The water quality is perfectly fine, all axolotls are separated with tank dividers. She's not as active as the other axolotls are though axolotls aren't really that active anyway. But its like the "I'm sick" not active type. Is there anything I can do to help her? Shes also already almost 2 years old.

Not all body parts grow back perfect - feet and gills are a classic for growing back wonky or deformed. But that's as good as it will get for your axie, they look like functioning feet, just not perfect pretty feet.

Some axies thrive with company, she may perk up if she has a friend or companion the same size as she is.

    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?
