Hi can u leave axolotl eggs to hatch when your away for 7 days?
 
I don't know what day they will hatch (in the beginning or the end of the 7 days you're gone) but hatched axies need to be fed a couple of times (instead of the first day after they're hatched).
 
If they will hatch whilst you are away, fill their tank with daphnia , its not ideal but better than nothing. They should be ok if the tank is at a decent temperature .
 
You can always add smaller collected pond infusoria to the tank before you leave. Daphnia probably will be to big for recent hatchlings. All you will need a brine shrimp net and a pond, lake or swamp. to collect from.
 
Thanks for the replies :D, ive decided to buy the eggs when i come back to avoid the risk of losing them incase they hatch early....

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
