i had one of the babies that looked to be the runt of the group. all the others were growing well but this little guy didnt seem to be growing much. Infact he only just had rear stumps where as more the others have either 1/2 or almost fully developed rear legs. Because he was little & cute i decided to keep him & was going to sell most of the others. I came home this afternoon to find his little head just hanging out of "mushrooms" mouth. he is the biggest. he was almost twice the size of tiny. I got him free & his tail & part of his abdomen had been eaten off...im really sad now...:(
 
I'm sorry for your loss. but it wasnt very wise putting different sized axolotls together....
 
Oh how horrific. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thats unfortunate but life I guess. They can be very snappy at each other when small, however they can also snap at each other when adult as I am now realising .
 
Angry things, I wonder if they are jelous of one other or just pyscho
:hat::uhoh:
 
well the thing is that they all hatched around the same time (within a week period if i recall), & the big albino seems to be the most agressive come feeding time. He almost looked like a fully developed axie. The little one just didnt grow like the rest. I tried feeding him in a seperate container so he had full access to the food but he just didnt seem to want to grow as quick...so as a result i decided he would be one of the ones i'd keep...

    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?
