I got medication for my axolotl from an exotic vet after he had jumped out of the tank.
I'm having trouble force feeding the medication to him. 2 drops must be administered into his mouth once a day for 10 days. I tried to method where you wrap them in a damp towel, but it just stripped his slime coat, it instructs that his gills be covered which sounds painful, and it seemed to hurt him.
Any ideas?

    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?
