So story time...
I've been search for axolotls to buy on kijiji, everything's normal right just looking around...

And then this morning I was looking.. And the first thing that pops up was this horrid, disgusting tank. That definitely not suitable for 4 axolotls.

I found this 🤢 ... I can't believe some people

Are u gonna buy them? they need a better home
 
you still should get one. give it a good home.
 
that's terrible. i hate that kind of human.
 
Do you have any friends that could responsibly keep one of the others?
 
aw, that's too bad. I really want one but i don't have anywhere to keep it and I'm in the US
 
its gonna die if its kept in that condition for much longer.
 
Dang, I feel horrible for not taking action. I don't want to stress the axolotl over a 2 hour drive either :(
Axolotls can definitely handle a drive that long. Obviously it's not ideal, but they'll be fine (mine easily handles a 3 hour drive about 6 times a year).

A quick guide to what has worked for me:

Ideally, you can transport them in a preferably opaque (though not necessary) container that must be water tight and should have enough room for one to stretch out fully. They should be one per container. I personally use rubbermaid containers that are scrubbed and rinsed well (NO SOAP) beforehand. Use blankets/towels to insulate (in terms of temperature and light) the containers and keep them from moving around. Put the air conditioning on full blast (wear a sweatshirt and gloves) and stop every hour or so to take the lids off and get some fresh air in there. Do not feed them for a couple days before transport; feed them once you arrive and have everything set up.
 
UPDATE!!
I found someone closer to the little babes! And she's willing to rescue! I am so relieved! 😌
