Hey guys,
We've just bought a new axolotl and have a few questions. Our last axie died after only having him for 5 days so we are slightly paranoid! Max seems to be settling in well and we know some of this knowledge will just come with us getting used to each other.
1. Can he recognise our faces? Is he able to differentiate between people or do they just react to someone coming up to their tank?
2. How do I tell the difference between uneaten bloodworms and axolotl poo?! Max isn't bloated so I don't think he is having a problem in this department but I just wanted to know for the future!
3. Does noise affect them? We have max in a tank quite close to our TV as it was the only place in our lounge that was flat enough that the stand wouldn't fall over! We just wanted to check that this wouldn't affect him.
4. Lastly (I think) do axies get lonely? We think that max can see his reflection in the side of the tank and we think he keeps trying to find where it's coming from- isthmus likely to just be curiousness because he thinks there is another axie in the tank? Or is it because he wants a tank mate?
I'm sure we'll have more questions but these are all I we can think of for now. Any help would be much appreciated
