Hello! I have a quick question, and it should be pretty simple.
I'm going to be shipping my axies to new homes soon. I know that they need to be shipped in an insulated container, and I will be including an ice pack in the container to keep them cool. My question is about the plastic bag in which the axie will be placed. I think it makes a lot more sense to make the bag 1/2 filled with water and 1/2 filled with air, and then I'll put the axie inside the bag, secure the bag with a rubber band, place the bag inside the insulated foam container, place the insulated foam container in the shipping box provided with it, and send him/her off.
Is this the correct way to do it? Should the bag have 1/2 water and 1/2 air? I'm just concerned that with all that air inside, the axie can get tossed around and injured a lot more easily. But I do want to provide him/her with enough oxygen to make it through the journey. If I fill the bag completely with water and no air, then the axie will probably be safer as far as being transported, but I don't think that the water would have enough oxygen in it for the axie to breathe for a couple of days...
If any of you are seasoned axolotl shippers, I'd really appreciate some input!
Thank you!
