One of my axies has what looks like a broken hand. :( It is bright red and limp and he's only about 6 weeks old... What should I do?

As long their is no open wounds then it shouldn't be too dangerous.and event though axolotls do have regenerative powers,its possible that the hand wont heal properly if the bone is still attached.
I would recommend taking it to vet to get their opinion.
P.s. don't try to amputate the broken limb

Hope your axie gets better though !
Hope this helps

Just leave him be - Axolotls are fantastic healers, and it should heal up on its own as long as the water is kept very clean (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and less than 40ppm nitrate) and your temperature correct.

    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?
