I'm using sand in my axolotl tank and have heard it is fine to use with axies because even if they swallow it, it will pass through them. It's decent pet shop sand as well so I know it's safe in the toxic sense. My concern is my axolotl is only little (there is a photo of him on my profile; he is only slightly bigger now, maybe 4cm). He has been eating the sand as I can see it inside him! The sand is very very fine but I just want to make sure he will be ok? He is still eating food as well so it can't have put him off his appetite. I'm also now giving him the food on a plate to avoid the sand eating habit! Sorry if this can already been asked before but I couldn't see it! Thanks
