After 10 years sweet little girl has died. I found her in early January in freezing temps on a road, about to die 5 different ways. Ground was frozen solid for a long time so I was advised by this group it was best to keep her. She was already an adult and took to captivity well. She just died tonight. Can someone reassure me that since she was huge when I first got her (as in, I’ve never seen one that big in any photo) that maybe she was already older and may have just died of old age. I’m beating myself up here, thinking of all the reasons it’s been my fault. :(

    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?
