Will juvenile axolotls still regenerate limbs?

Unfortunately one of my 2" axolotls was nipped at by a larger axolotl in their grow tank and now is missing its back legs. Will they regrow well like in adult axolotls? Right now I have it in a small tupperware bin so it may recover. Any tips?

Yep it'll heal. I suggest putting the little one in a breeder box in the tank, use a divider or a separate tank until it's the same size as the others. Sometimes they regrow limbs kinda weird, but something should grow back at least lol

    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?
