The short answer is maybe,

Axies can be kept in outdoor ponds. There are many variables from groundwater and leachates to predation by cats and other animals.

There is also the issue of water temperature. have a look at www.axolotl.org it has the answers to your questions in more detail.

maybe?????

i would go with (click)maybe but to solve cat problems and birds put wire mesh over the pond and for temputure i don't know if you can get a pond heater and for how many axolotls you can have it would depend tell us how big your pond is and ill give you rough estimate how many you could have ok.

Actually, with a pond, you run the risk of the pond being too hot. Unless your pond freezes through (all the way to the bottom), even temperatures down into freezing (ice skim on the top) are fine. There is rarely any need for a heater with axolotls.

Didn't Jennewt house them in an indoor pond? She has it on her homepage, I think.
