These are two of my babies, that as they grew their back legs seem to become deformed. They are in a breeder net in their parents tank. Not sure what to expect, but they are eating, pooping, and growing. They do swim around (kinda sideways). Has anyone had axolotls with this type of 'defect'. I don't think that they will 'straighten out' but, I do hope they will continue to grow, and thrive.

Oh dear! :(
Looks like a spinal problem, doesn't it?! Don't know what would cause that, but does seem a shame, as they look healthy otherwise!

They act, and eat and poop the same as the rest of the babies. I would love to know what would cause that. They are still keepers:D They are about 3 months old now.

Hi, just wondering what happened to these two Axolotl's, I have one that is very similar and I'm trying to find out what could be wrong with him. Thanks

    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?
