Hi just wondering if anyone can give me any advice, I've got 3 axolotls and have had 2 for over a year with no problems. Got a new one a few months ago its still young and tiny but it's in a separate tank alone with no sharp objects and I woke up today to find it really pale, no colour in the gills whatsover and an open wound on its stomach. I have no way of taking it to a vets as there isn't one where I live and I don't drive and nobody will take me :( I've put it in the fridge because I don't know what else to do. I would really appreciate any advice because I'm terrified that it's going to die it's looking awful at the minute and of course I will do anything I can to prevent it from dying :(
 
Hi I have 17 seven month old Northwestern Salamanders. I was wondering why you put your sick baby in fridge? I am wondering if it wants to transition to terrestrial for winter. All of mine literally became totally air breathing within a few days they suddenly refused frozen blood worm and began to gulp down halved small earthworms which are alive. If there is a sore on the stomach perhaps there is an irritant in its environment have you got soft moss etc to offer so that the salamander can transition onto land? but still crawl into water too? :confused::eek:You report that its gills have no colour My Oxolotls had feathery read coloured gills. What specie is your baby? I will follow your situation and let you know if I think of anything.

    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?
