Help, My axolotl cannot move her legs and I do not know what to do. She has tucked them underneath her body, I dont know if this is to protect them or not?? I have been told it may be a calcium deficiency, so am gonna add a liquid calcium. Any Ideas, Has this happened to anyone before.

i would suggest you try to find a vet who deals with amphibians as i have heard of others with this problem and it seems to always be a viral infection.
good luck.

p.s
if you cant find one try phoning the zoos to get the number of their registered vet.

    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?
