Does everybody think that my axolotl is a girl because I want to get another one because I used to have two and then the other one died. I want to be sure what gender it is so I can buy another axolotl of the same gender. (I don't really want any babies)
I recommend removing them too. You do realise your axie can swallow those glass pebbles don't you! Basically anything smaller than their head will fit into their mouth. Two of ours had quite a few pieces of these glass pebbles in their gut, which they spent about 11 months pooing out. They just have the smaller pieces of gravel bits that occasionally appear in the sand still (so that's over 15 months). We're lucky they didn't have a blockage which could have lead to prolapse and subsequent death.
I think it could be female. I'm not basing on stomach size but the first photo of cloaca.
With our wildtypes we thought one was a female due to it's roundness and cloaca size; put it in an all female axie tank only to discover few months down the line she was most definitely a he! He developed later than our other males who had developed their large cloacas at 9months+
i would have to agree with Kapo your little axie does look like a little girl. The fact that she is so large may not be from ingestion of stones. I had ordered a white axie around a week ago and had to wait as she was in quarantine, when i picked her up i noticed she was rather large so it could just possibly be the fact she may eat alot or something along the lines of that??
Unfortunately most pet shop workers know very little about the animals in their care,all they want to do is make money by selling you the animals and all the gear (including food) to go with them.
You do not need to feed every day,try 2 or 3 times a week.
Thats true very third day is the best. I would change their feeding habits. Also with the pet shop they don't have a clue its best to ask someone who has knowledge or read internet sites or books
It depends on temperature and such, but every day is too often. In summer months, I usually feed mine 3 times a week, sometimes 4 if they're looking thin. In the winter, they eat at most twice a week.
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?
