I am wondering if anyone has ever made a comprehensive pamplet for axolotl care with signs of a distressed axolotl?
I ask because there is this petstore that keeps getting axolotls, not sure if they are actually selling them or if they are dying, that they keep in 80 degree water and sometimes with fish or axolotls of two different sizes that shouldnt be together. I have notified the main person who runs their fish section and he just looked the other way. I doubt the manager would do anything about it since its an old mom and pop shop that has degraded in quality over the years.
I want to give them a pamphlet that tells them what they need to know, I even want to give one to the manager to make sure he get it too so he knows the terrible conditions that his staff is keeping them in with juuuust a little hope that he may make them fix the conditions.
Today I went in there and they had an albino axolotl, only 1.5" long who was floating at the top and had waves in his tail. He was in with a wildtype axolotl who was 3.5" long who could do some bad damage to the albino. On top of this they were in with a bunch of desert goby fish. Oh and they've only had them since Jan 23rd so barely 5 days to allow the stress of 80 degrees to do more serious problems like fungal infections.
Anyone with a pamphlet that I could print or they could mail me would be greatly appreciated.
I've boycotted this store, as well as a few other friends of mine, for now until this is fixed. I probably wont shop there even after they fix things because I sorta want this store to go under overall because of the conditions they keep a lot of things in.
