Hey all,
My friend has a few axolotls that we think are growing really slow. Until recently they have not had a consistently good diet and thus have been slow to grow up until here. Now they are fed a pellet diet and live black worms and ghost shrimp. They have grown recently, but we are worried about how big they are. The largest is about two years old and about 7 inches. The other two are smaller at about 6 inches and a year or so old. I have a feeling they have growing to do, and I know they are probably so small due to their poor diet beforehand. Do you think these axolotls have the potential to get larger or are they stunted? How big do axolotls typically grow as adults? Thanks!

i have seen many people with adults that are only about 6-7" which i think is crazy as mine are 10-11"! Lmao but if they were malnourished as juveniles, or had a bad injury when they were juveniles this couldcause them to put more energy towards living/healing and not growing, and after about 18months they are full grown and probably wont grow anymore. I am sure they are still cute as a button
