Tonight my ax started doing this sudden jerking upward jump, almost like an involuntary spasm. Since I'm new to him/her I have no idea what to expect. However he's never done this before, just started tonight. I took video of him doing it. I couldn't figure out how to post it here so I uploaded it to youtube, hope I can put a link to it here.


What's up with my Axolotl - YouTube
 
He's just eating. When they eat they use a vacuum like suction and it caused them to jump back sometimes.
 
Yup, just eating. It's adorable. My leucistic used to get super exited at feeding time when she/he was little and she'd jump really high and then look around like "huh what was that!? :eek:".
 
I miss when mine used to do that, back when they were on a bare bottom and I could let them just suck the food right off the ground.
They are ridiculous little creatures.

    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?
