Hey!

I’m new here so Just wanted to drop in and say hello ?

I’ve recently acquired some Axolotl eggs (which wasn’t planned) I’ve found this forum super helpful for getting info to help me with them so thanks guys!

I do have a couple of questions though if anyone can help? Some of my babies have hatched a fair few days ago now but still have some not yet hatched, is there a way to know if these guys will ever hatch or if they have died in the eggs?

And also out of the ones who have hatched I’ve had 4 die ? all of them being my albino ones. Is this a common thing with albinos or is it pure coincidence?

Thank you in advance for any info ?

    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?
