Poor lil guy, was this an accident or birth defect ? Also, kind of hard to tell but at that angle he looks kinda thin to me .
 
He was only brought 2 days ago, and he's a little thin for my liking but he'll get fattened up soon. As for the birth defect vs accident I have no idea. I guess we might find out in a few months time if he starts growing more toes.
 
Doesn't matter if it's a birth defect or not. If that leg were to be bitten off, most likely it would return as a normal leg (though perhaps with some extra toes... or one less... who really knows)

Axolotls are so amazing :D

Well hopefully it doesn't get bitten off! even if it does grow back that seems way too stressful for a little axie

    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?
