Hi there,
My juvenile axolotl is 10 weeks old and I’ve just noticed he has developed black patches on his back feet/legs. He is in a (very big) tub at the moment while his tank of finishing cycling, and I’ve been doing daily dechlorinated water changes and I’m feeding him live blackworm that I cut up small
I’m hoping this is just natural colouration as he does seem to have a few black freckles too so might be a dirty Lucy.
However, I have read about a disease called foot rot and I’m praying it’s nothing like that.
I’ll attach an image (I’ve just fed him so he looks a bit fat), also just hoping he looks in good health generally?
