Hi all,

My Axie toothless has lost the use of his front legs about a year or so ago. He eats and looks fine his back legs work very well but I can’t help wondering what has caused this.

I believe it started when he lost one of his front legs to his tank mate. Injury occurred at the knee/elbow it grew back and I think I remember him using the new leg.

I don’t claim to know a lot about spinal injuries but as far as I know if there is a problem in the spine the back legs would also stop working so I can only assume that it is a muscular issue caused by a stroke or maybe the healing process has gone a bit wrong.

I am intrigued to hear other people’s views on my little disabled axie.

    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?
