Looked in container this morning and found one out of egg finally!!!

Hope to get them growing. When do you start feeding them?
Can I use BBS now??
 
They don't need feeding for about 24 hours, they are still absorbing their yolk for the first day.
You start with BBS tomorrow - do you have some hatching?
 
Now i know Axolotl's don like alot of heat. But do is there a certain temp i need for the larvae?
 
I will try to get some as they hatch!
I have 1 hatched out so far. Ill try and get pics up tonight!

thanks!
 
Okay well they seem to be growing now.

But i have not seen them eat? i do put BBS in there though.

How do i know there eating??

If they are growing they must be eating.

If you watch them you'll see them twitch as they snap at the BBS - it's kinda cute!
 
The babies are growing I have 16 survivors that hatched!
Ive noticed what looks to be there front legs developing

What else can I start feeding them?

I am going to try to take pictures.
 
heres a couple. Couldn't get good pics.
Sorry

How big are they? At about 1.5-2 inches with front legs they are probably big enough for daphnia or adult brineshrimp, and maybe 2-3" they can be moved onto chopped bloodworm. I usually rechon 3-4 weeks on BBS, then introduce daphnia, then onto bloodwroms at 6 weeks if they are big enough.

    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?
