a log for hiding out and a few plants. He had quite a big belly and didn’t seem too comfortable, but I thought he might have a been a bit put out with the move... I’m glad I moved him when I did as he passed some pebbles. He has passed 4 😳 since his move, the last one just today, about 2 weeks later. I feel lucky that he survived and he seems a lot happier now, eating normally and just being an Axolotl, much more active at night.

Glad he's all good! I remember when I got mine, he was moving from a sand substrate to a bare bottom and there was little bits of sand coming out for WEEKS, lol
