Hello. My 3 year old male leucistic axie hasn’t been very hungry lately. He recently had an abscess on his head, but the infection is gone and he’s been healing nicely.

I was just wondering how to re-feed an axolotl after they haven’t eaten for a while?

I tried feeding him whilst he was sick aswell, but to no avail. All he eats is a pellet or two. Never very much.

He’s starting to get kinda skinny and it’s worrying me. I want him to start eating before I put him back into the tank with the others, just to make sure he still isn’t infected.

    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?
