mine took just over 2 weeks to hatch. Make sure you have live food ready for them once they hatch. My larvae are now about 1cm long (these eggs were laid on 2nd Dec). You must be very happy

Congratulations! Yes, they sure are cute little eggs.

The eggs have everything they need until they hatch. Read more about breeding and rearing larvae on the axolotl site.

Newly hatched axolotl larvae are only about 3 or 4 mm long. You will need "microfood" for them. Most people breed Artemia - you should get your Artemia hatchery started now so that the Artemia are ready for your larvae when they hatch. I raised mine on Daphnia, but even newly hatched Daphnia were too large for most of the new axolotl larvae, so that I had a high death rate in the first week (starvation). More information on microfoods, including information on setting up an Artemia hatchery, is found here among the articles from the Caudata Culture page.

Good luck to you!

now little ones is start to hatch!I was thinking,what is axolotl assignment age? and can it be two male axolotl in same tank? heres picture of couple babys

What do you mean "assignment"?

It is ok to keep (adult) males together; axolotls are not aggressive animals.

that,what is their age when you can sell them in new home? sorry sometimes I have really bad english

blueberlin · Jan 20, 2009

Ah understood. No problem, lots of us are from non-English speaking countries.

I don't know that there is a set "rule" on their size. If you ask me, I would wait until they are at least 10 cm long, because by that point they are not so delicate, not so difficult to care for, and so I would not have as much worry giving them to an inexperienced person. I think that takes about 4 or 5 months.
