Question: Lopsided axolotl baby

[Azsinderkitty]

Sorry to bother everybody again. I'm getting a bit anxious. Half and half doesn't seem to be growing at all frown emoticon he is moving around and catches food. More often than not he is laying upside down, and just sits. He is still very lopsided. one side is now growing a front leg, while the other side, it lookes like he doesn't even have full gills yet.he has survived to be a month old now. Has anybody else had a baby like this? It's hard to care for him because I always check him and he doesn't move until I harass him quite a bit. I feel like he should pull through as he eats everyday and actually swims as normal as a lopsided baby can. But I really want to know when he should grow normal.

Sometimes chimeras (Chimera (genetics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) grow lopsided like that. I don't know what the prognosis is when they do.

The bigger the difference in size between the two sides, the lower the chance is that it will survive. There is nothing you can do but wait and see. Try not to be too upset if it doesn't make it, it is a genetic anomaly and they are rare because survival rates are low.
