Please Help.
My salamander larvae, aged about 2 months, is very hurt. A rock in his tank fell on him in his tank when I moved it too rough on accident. He is now missing an eye and won’t close his mouth. I haven’t been able to feed him and I’m sure his other eye isn’t working, sometimes I find him upturned on his back not moving but he’s still alive, other times he’s moving around just fine, I’ve also seen him close his mouth before so I know he can. He gets stressed easier and I wonder if I should put him out of his misery because I can’t find help in my are. someone PLEASE give me advice!!!!!

I think the only thing you can do for him is wait and see if he recovers, unless you can bring him to a vet.

    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?
