Hatched!

Well, about a third of my axie eggs hatched today. They're so adorable! But when I popped some daphnia in for them to have a go at, I couldn't see any signs of feeding.

Should I be doing something in particular to encourage them to start feeding, or do they just need a bit of time to get over the "oh my god, I've been born!" stage?

Thanks!
 
They have there yolk sack they feed on the first fews days... then they will start to feed once they have used it up.

But remember keep the water very clean and lots of air... try to split them up into as many tanks/bowls/tubs as you can then more will live..

Good luck and keep us informed
 
Good luck with them froggy. Mine are now about 5 weeks old and i have bowls and tubs all around the room. Its hard work but definitely worth the effort

    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?
