Looking for opinions on shipping babies/shipping young axolotls. Currently only selling to my local area but I have some people interested in my babies that are too far to drive to. I want to know:
  • What kind of shipping should I use? Overnight, 2-day, priority, ect.
  • How to pack up the axolotl? Bag, cold pack, newspaper, ect.
  • What do I do to prep the baby for travel? I've seen people talk about fasting their babies before travel.
  • Does the same go for eggs?

And any other notes or comments or suggestions you may have!

Overnight shipping is best, it gives the axie a better chance of survival.

    as long as its not freezing they should ship fine. I usually ship mine in 2 days priorities like axolotl. insulation and some cold pack. Is this morphed or still a larvae?

    I currently have a 3 year old axolotl, he hasn't been eating for the past couple of weeks and has lost a lot of weight. Hedwig usually eats bloodworms and earthworms just fine but now he won't even stud it. I've done a water change to make his nitrate lower and his water is at a good temperature
