Hello to all:

I retired from teaching biology 5 years ago and am the proud owner of an axolotl named 'Nanou'. Nanou is a leucistic axolotl, and he's more than doubled in size since I got him 5 months ago. He/she is quite beautiful and I'll be posting a photo and video very soon.

I also own a Dumeril's boa named Fluffy, so my two unusual pets make for great conversation. I look forward to hearing from members of this group and learning much more about my wonderful pet.

Oh, I set up Nanou's tank with a single layer of 1/2" stones on the bottom, all except the front right corner. That corner of the tank is an area 4" square with no rocks at all, an area I call the 'food court'. I feed Nanou in this area (he moves to the food court when he's hungry). It's a lot easier to keep this bare glass area clean than to remove fouled food from the rocks. I use a clean turkey baster to remove old food. It works great!

Regards, Russ

Welcome to the Newt and Salamander Portal!
 
I feed my axolotl food from this website: ED's Fly Meat Home

Nanou loves the food and has grown HUGE over the last few months! What food do you use?

Regards, Russ
 
I feed them live earth worms from wall-mart its less of a mess and do you still clean the tank every 2 days like he said?
P.S Mine got big from the pellets wile thay lasted.

    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?
