Axies are just crackers!

Lol! Maybe he's trying to tell you that you need to clean more often :D
 
I caught my axie doing the wierdest thing tonight. It was using its head to scrape algae off of rocks, then as the algae was floating in the water, THE AXOLOTL ATE IT!!! At first I thought it was an accident but the axolotl didn't spit it out, it swallowed it and continued searching around the aquarium for more and when ever it found some it ate it. It continued to do it until I left, and it is possibly still doing it now, I wonder If my axie gets any kind of kick from doing this like drugs, because the behaviour was clearly very delibrate.
 
thanks for that kaysie!....there again, maybe he's trying to get me to clean LESS!
 
i know sirens eat plantmatter sometimes, mabey lotls eat plant matter sometimes too.
 
axols are the wierdest animals i have ever seen besides, wait nevermind they are the wirdest animals ive ever seen =P
 
I just installed an underwater filter, and my solo axolotl seems to be playing this game with himself. Half the time now I find him wedged sideways against the tubes, upside down against the tubes, on top of the tubes, backward behind the tubes, you name. He also seems to like sticking his head against the intake of my corner filter, and then he swallows all the bubbles from its output (resulting in him floating back near the tubes).

He seems to be winning this game against himself :p
 
I'm not denying that lotls are weird Heather, but the weirdest animals ever? Check out my cats!

Charlie cats arent weird theyre just creepy get rid and get a decent animal like a dog or some more axies.

& before everyone starts flaming and defending cats and decrying dogs; I don't care and will delete any posts in favour of cats...lol!

Don't even think about dogs vs cats debate.
 
Ours (particularly Peely - the leucistic female) like to hide thier heads under the filter. Maybe it's the closest expression to some instinctive natural behaviour they have in captivity? Given the broad distribution of everyone here (and the axies) it's probably not a learnt behaviour ;)
 
Just for the record, my little doggy (an 18 months old /30Kg pitbull) grew up with cats and so he 'learned' a number of typical cats behaviour of them .... for instance, he sometimes plays like a cat, throwing things around to himself, and when you'd stroke him, he'll purr just like a cat ... really funny

Thats just way too sad Andre. Go away and chastise yourself for inducing perverted canine behaviour. A most heinous crime!
 
Don't worry, mik ... he feels and behaves 99% of the time like a dog, apart from those 2 funny things.
 
I MUST disagree with you mik....the boylads are indeed freaky and weird...Moki (the one at the back) comes when you whistle for him, and loves nothing more than having his bum smacked (don't ask me how we discovered this!)

But, i think we're in danger of getting this thread nuked for wanton straying off the subject...the discussion about whether frog-talk was appropriate for this site went on for pages - f*** knows how a thread containing mammals will be received

*walks off, shaking the drips from recently washed hands*
 
Poor Happy. She doesn't have a bubble coaster she can reach. She likes to swim her way up until she can sit on the dragon ornament, between its wings, then launch herself off and slowly fall to the bottom with a gentle flump. All of this in slow motion, done like a true axie.
