Hi all,
I only joined this site this morn so not had time to say hay & post some pic's as im at wrk.
I really need all your help, I recently had 2 albino Axie's off my friend they are around 1 year old (i think) when my mate had them she put a black one in with them & it bit the leg off one of the white ones ( berney ) his leg has how grown back abit deformed, he has lost all his deep pink bit's off his gills this was a bit ago & they still have not come back. They took the black one & put him in a different tank.
I have set all my tank up & put them in but they have not moved much, my boyfriend thinks im stressing to much but i cnt help it.
Also Berney is not eating i droped a worm on his head & it was as if he could not feel it????
I know the move would have stressed them a little but i just worry alot.

At the min i am feeding them Meal worm's is that ok? or can you help me?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this x x x

Any help would be gr8

Natalie :p

P.S Sorry about my spelling's xxxx
 
Hi there, and welcome to the forum. First thing I'd do is make sure your tank is set up correctly - have a read of www.axolotl.org

I tend to feed mine mainly on earth worms - mealworms don't digest as easily; have a look at the above site for some ideas.
 
worms

Phil where do you get your earthworms from for feeding your axolotls if you don't mind me asking...i would like to feed mine some but not sure where to get them from.

The compost bin (all ways loads in there) and I hunt around the garden.

You have to be careful where get them from because of pesticide etc. But, I know there aren't any used on my garden. :D

I also feed them slugs, the odd woodlice, anything that crawls or wiggles and a few small slices of raw liver on a Saturday.

You can buy worms from most fishing shops; I'll PM you where I get buy a pot from online (so as not to break any forum rules).

I'm going to try them on Salmon Pellets soon and raw tiger prawn (as recommended by Bellabelloo).

    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?
