So tonight i had my axolotl out in a small container so i could clean her tank. Found my kitten hovering over her. (Totally my fault. I need to shut my door) His paw was wet. Not sure if he actually touched her or not. While i was taking him out of my room i walked back in to my mom stroking my axies side/tail and holding her in her fingers underwater (im not blaming her. She didnt know) . Is this bad for my axie, should i be concerned, is there something i can do for her?

If your mother had clean fingers (no lotion, soap, perfume, taco sauce, etc) it will probably do no harm.
The cat is perhaps the bigger danger.

Ok, i checked in and she had clean hands. I dont think the cat actually touched my axolotl (i dont see any marks on her and didn't hear a splash or anything)
Thank you for a reply

    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?
