Hello All, This is the first time i am going to fridge my juvenile axie, It is not sick but the temperature is about to be above 35 degrees C for the next five days in South Australia.
I am nervous about the concept of putting my axolotl in the fridge, because the temperature of my fridge gets very low at times and I have opened it up to find things frozen in the fridge compartment.
Yesterday I bought a fridge thermometer which i have put in and the fridge has been a constant 5 degrees now for 24 hours.
My question is really do i need to give my axie some way of adjusting to the temperature change as it has pretty much lived in 20 degree temperatures since i got it more than two months ago.?
I don't wont to shock it too much.
And it is likely that we will have more hot weather again later in janurary too. So is it best to keep him in there for the full summer heat , or take him in and out dependent on when hot weather is forecast.?
Also I noticed that the Article about fridging axolotls doesnt have wholes in the lid. is there enough oxygen in the water with a lid fixed on to not have to worry, or should i put wholes in the lid to container?
