Hi I have a few babies I have raised from eggs however two have caught red leg.

They are rubbed with daily water changes using prime

What can cause this ?


I have been to the vet and have baytril oral 10% however when I gave it to my sxolotl I think it stressed him out that much he passed away he was not moving for 5mins upside down I took him out onto my hand and didn't move I have his wee belly a few pushes and he came back to life and started walking about.

My question is what's caused this why only 2 of 3 who are kept in same conditions

The two that's caught it are very small compared to the other.

How likely are they to survive ?

I'm now going to put the antibiotic into their tub for 8hrs a day how likely will this help ?

    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?
