Looking for opinions on shipping babies/shipping young axolotls. Currently only selling to my local area but I have some people interested in my babies that are too far to drive to. I want to know:
  • What kind of shipping should I use? Overnight, 2-day, priority, ect.
  • How to pack up the axolotl? Bag, cold pack, newspaper, ect.
  • What do I do to prep the baby for travel? I've seen people talk about fasting their babies before travel.
  • Does the same go for eggs?

And any other notes or comments or suggestions you may have!

    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?
