Will soon have young Axolotls.

On Thursday I'm expecting a young Axolotl in the mail, about 2-3 inches in length. Is there anything special I should feed it, or is just a smaller version of what the adults eat suitable?

Thanks,
Chrisy

Hi Chrisy,
smaller amounts of the adults food should be ok,earthworms are your best bet.Are you going to keep it serperately,as the bigger ones may harm it.

When we got our axolotls, both were 2-3 inches long. I have fed them pellets from IU the whole time. They are about 4-5 inches now.

    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?
