Point of this post - if your axolotl swallows something it shouldnt, try a salt water bath and it could perhaps spit it out. (This is only in my experience and excesive salt baths could be harmful to your axy if there is no pre-existing condition that requires a salt bath). Now that i got my point accross if you want to know how i realized this keep reading.
A while back my axolotls had a gill fungus that I was treating with regular salt baths. I realized when doing this that if I fed them and then placed them in the salt bath before they completely swallowed their food that they promptly regurgitated it.
Then a few months ago I bought a leucistic juvenile axolotl. I put him in the same tank as my two full grown, one wild type one melanoid, axolotls not knowing that they could perhaps pick on him because of his color. . .what is this 1961? Anyway the next morning I came down and saw a white tail sticking out of my oldest axies mouth. I reverted to the salt bath/regurgitation idea and threw him into a salt bath and he did imediately regurgitate my juvie.
I just thought I would share this information in case anyone needed their axolotl to regurgitate anything it wasnt suppost to swallow. I figured if this saved even one axy its worth posting.
