Hello @ all,
I has got an Axolotl in care 1 ½ weeks ago. I opened the transport box and it hit me hard. The animal had completely lost weight. I have never seen such a thing! The owners have the Axolotl for 4 weeks and have got him already so thin. The zoo trader has given them only wrong information. He said, Axolotl is no matter it at which temperatures it in the water swims. The owners have held together him in a tank with fishing. The fish have bitten off to him the gills. At home I have put him in a quarantine tank (I had already prepared). Because he was starved obviously, I have started to feed carefully on chicken liver. Unfortunately, his liver does not work any more properly, his excrement was white. He got cramps and I thought he will die. Today is he is already much better. He has no more cramps.
He gots cramps:
No more gills:
He is so thin, that you could see his bone!!!
Today: He looks a little bit better:
