We got an axolotl we were fairly sure was male. Ended up being female, and they began going at it. What should I do? I don’t have the setup for babies, and we don’t have any divider to stop them breeding. Any advice? The pet store has no refunds.

Axolotls are illegal in California. Please read this thread for detailed information and links to the actual laws: https://www.caudata.org/threads/axolotls-are-illegal-in-california-here-are-the-relevant-laws.30779/

My local pet store sells axolotls, and they use these “egg crate” dividers to separate males and females in their tanks. You can get them from Amazon. I have an order on the ready in case my new axolotl doesn’t get along with my old one when I introduce them. Might give you some breathing room while you figure out what to do.

If you end up with eggs separate the eggs. After they bean then they will hatch. Some people will rehome eggs. If you do rehome eggs and you will ship I would be interested in some for personal use. Please PM me if you do end up with eggs.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
