Quarantine should be between 30-60 days and should include complete isolation from all amphibians in your collection. Don't use tools in both cages unless you sterilize in between. Take care of quarantined animals after your current collection and if you need to return to the current collection, clean yourself very well. Use disposable gloves when handling quarantined animals or items they come in contact with.

Clinical setups are also advisable- especially for the easy collection of fecal samples for testing for parasites. Work with quarantined animals last.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
