nope not at all - my maurice loves his log= is the tank really big?
cos maybe he just needs to do some exploring, but logs are good as they add a bit of scenery as well...

maurice uses his log to sleep in during the day or to sit on top of :D
but he didnt use it when i first put it in.. so im guessing just wait and see ;)

Mine don't use their hides frequently, but it's good to have them in there. And if it looks nice, that's an added bonus.

Mine just fits in his/her log and only uses it occasionally. I reckon just leave it in there.

In my experience it may be simply where you have it located. If you have it in a corner away from light with some, perhaps, fake plants hovering above it they should go in it. Play around with its position to find where they like it. I had this one who was obsessed with staying in a cave until I moved things around and now he just goes in there for a snooze now and then.

    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?
