Hi everyone,
About two weeks ago I got an Axolotle for my birthday from my boyfriend. I set it up in its tank and when I woke up the next day the tank was full of eggs!
They've just started hatching yesterday (in a small container not with mum) so i left them a day and then fed them some bbs today which I rinsed in tank water and i changed the water after a few minutes but a few hours later they all died
I bought the bbs from a petstore but I'm considering trying using a razor blade on black worms to feed to them. Bbs are just a bit daunting and costly if Im buying them every day..
I still have 50 or so which haven't hatched yet but now I'm really nervous! I think maybe they got some salt water in with theirs but I'm not sure if I over fed them either or maybe they got shocked from changing water (is that possible?). Everywhere I look seems to say something different about how long to leave their food in for and nowhere really says how much to feed them.
Can anyone help me with just some basic guidelines? There is so much info around the Internet but not all of it makes sense it's it's hard to find what's useful and what's not.
Please help!
