Hello,

My axolotl is looking very poorly at the moment.

He has somehow injured his hand and his mouth. The fingers on his injured hand are now covered in a thick white substance while his mouth almost looks like the skin has been ripped. He has been refusing to eat since Sunday evening.

Could someone advise on what I should do for him? I am worried that, because of his fingers and lack of appetite, he has some kind of infection or the that the mouth injuries are making him not want to eat.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    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?
