So a few weeks back I rescued a stumpy little axolotl, just figured he needed some extra space and plenty of food and clean water and he'd hop onto a normal growth track. Roughly a week after getting him I got a baby leucistic that's probably about 2/3 months younger. Now I've noticed age does no equate to size at all with these munchkins, but more so food and water quality. Both of them a growing fine, my little gold stumpy has his legs grown in properly now but his head is far larger than the leucistic and he's more round around the middle and much more stubby. The leucistic has a smaller head but is longer by about a 1/4 of an inch. I read somewhere on here that there's some kind of trend happening with stumpy axolotls? It's utterly adorable and he's perfectly healthy, but now I'm curious about it.

    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?
