... I say *was*, because all are now safe at home with me!
It's been a long time since I've posted here, so I'm not sure if anyone remembers me, but... I need your help!
I kept Tiger sals in Canada before I moved to Australia, so I do have *some* experience outside of keeping regular axies, but I'm worried about keeping the morphs happy and healthy for as long as possible. So far their behaviour isn't anything like my old tigers- even though they are fully morphed and walking about on land, they're still behaving like axolotls in the water. They rear up constantly, gulping as if taking a breath of air from the surface, even though they're nowhere near the water! They snuffle around the ground like an axie looking for food, seem almost totally blind, and aren't showing any interest in burrowing as I expected them to do. I'm worried they'll drown in the water, or dry up on land, they're just so... AWKWARD!
I've got four- a wildtype, a melanoid (from what I can tell, but could be very dark wildtype?) a white albino, and a golden. The two dark ones have eaten several crickets and a worm each on their own, but the two albinos have only eaten by hand, and only a small worm each. The golden has a sore on his back (maybe from being injected?) I don't mind handfeeding if needed, but do you think I should separate the albinos from the other two? They seem weaker, and less responsive overall than the dark pair.
Where do I get thyroxine? How do I continue with the injections, and where do I inject? Or can a forced morph be kept healthy without regular thyroxine shots? They definitely are not natural morphs.
Thanks for any information you can give me!
(Falkor and Aximander are still doing very well, if anyone remembers them! I've also got a male now, Nemo!
