Hello everyone! I’m a brand new member as of today. And a brand new Axolotol mom as of yesterday. I ordered from an online breeder and when he/she arrived it’s missing it’s front foot. It’s a baby Axanthic Copper, about 3 inches long. It doesn’t move very much, just stares vainly at its reflection all day.
Just like being a first time parent, I’m worried about the foot. It’s just a little stump.
The breeder dismissed me and said it’s fine but I just need reassurance from those that understand.
Thank You!
i completely understand, and want you to know this is perfectly normal
im also a semi-new parent, i've had my mudkip for about a year and a half now, and i’d like to warmly welcome you to the community;
so, uh, welcome!!!
i also ordered from an online breeder, and my mudkip arrived with a small nick in her tail. axolotls, however, are magical and fantastic and can regrow limbs and such like nothing, (well, with proper time, care, and food that is) so your little darling should start growing back that little leg here pretty soon, but it will take a while.
a copper axanthic is awesome! i personally have a melanoid axanthic female, but i’d love to have a copper someday, i think they’re gorgeous.
the breeders dismissal is somewhat understandable, axolotls are widely known for their regenerative abilities after all - but, rest assured my friend, your little friend will grow it back.
send me a pm if you’d like to ask me more questions, but other than that i hope you have a great night (or day, whenever you read this)
