Has anyone moved with there axolotls, if so can you please tell me how you did it. Even if you haven't I would be grateful for any ideas. I'm moving home and don’t have a clue what to do with my axolotls. I have 4 to move and I am worried about moving them and stressing them out. The oldest is 9 years old and has been in her tank since she was 4 inches long.
They are currently in a 5ft tank, with an external filter and chiller. The tank and stand are not going to be that easy to move and will have to go in the removals van. The chiller will need to stand for 24 hours before being plugged back into the external filter. I have no idea what to do with them in the mean time.
I was thinking about moving them the day before I officially move with the removals van, as I have two 1 and a half ft tanks spare and was considering splitting the axies in, but I haven't had a date guaranteed so I don't know if this would be possible. Also with them having an external filter it wouldn’t be able to go in the spare tank over night. Would it be that much of a problem?
Also I’m concerned about how much water I should save. I’m thinking at least 75% should make the 45 minute journey with me.
Do I bag the axolotls to transport them?
Should I avoid the motorway and put an extra 20 minutes on to the journey.
Any help would be accepted gratefully. I’m just so worried about them. I’ve had them for so long I don’t want to loose them in the move. Maybe I’m just worrying for no reason but I want them to stay staff and happy.
Thanks
Laura
