Feeding my New Baby Axolotl

[@taylamia753]

You should add another cave in the tank, just so he has options. They get stressed by light since they don't have eyelids and it's never bad to be extra careful.

Soooooooo cute!!! I can't wait to get my first Axolotl!

[@NicoleSILAH]

You gotta do your research tho- don’t want you jumping into parenthood without a clue on how to care for these *cuties*

[@gracierat]

He/she is really cute! I'm looking forward to more videos on the little cutie!

[@savedelete80]

I want one, but I haven't been able to find one in my area.

[@RussianTorts]

They don't often show up at pet stores. best bet is to look for a breeder locally. Or find them online. If you live in the states you can look on ebay and aquabid.

[@Skulexander]

There's also several breeders who do business through Facebook. There's axolotl groups you can join where people post axolotls for sale (AXOLOTL-AHOLICS, We Love Axolotl, and Everything Axolotl!), and breeders have their own pages you can check out. One's I know are Lexolotls, Emilys Axolotls, Aquarius Axolotls and Cute Little Lotls

[@RussianTorts]

I am planing to get an axolotl and I wanted to know if you can keep them with larger fish

[@RussianTorts]

From what I have read, they will try to eat anything that will fit in their mouth. If you keep them with fish expect the fish to get eaten. Larger fish will often attack the axolotl, which is very vulnerable due to its extremely soft skin and lack of bones

[@ornateboxturtle3397]

RussianTorts thanks! In the future when I get the axolotl I will not put him in my fish tank with other fish.

[@Skulexander]

Pretty much the only tank mates for axolotls are other axolotls. Just gotta make sure they have enough space and are the same size.

[@kevingold1091]

@@Skulexander And of the same sex, unless you're trying to breed them. In which case you'll need to separate the male from the female after they breed, or the male will breed the female literally to death.

I have had two Russian tortoises for around 5 months now, I have been feeding them cucumber and kale. Is this bad for them?

[@RussianTorts]

not bad, but also not ideal. Cucumber does not have a lot of nutritional value. They like it but it doesnt add much. Vary the kale with some other greens (endive, mustard greens, collard greens, romaine lettuce)
