should i use gravel about a third of a cm big for a 6 cm big axolotl? (which i got today)

id say he could still snack on it, and it would block him up at that size probably but adults might not. do you have any finer stuff around?

I would say omit the gravel for now, just go without any substrate. If the gravel is really that small, it might be OK for a larger axie. But even for a larger axie, you should probably feed it out of a dish or in an area without the gravel just to be on the safe side.
