Hello!
I'm new and I hope I am posting this in the right place. My daughter bought a (what the people at the mall called it) "Baby Dinosaur". Through research it looks like an Axolotl. It came in a very small plastic container. He does not have hardly any room to move and I feel very sorry for him. My daughter and I the day after bought the Axolotl a 10 gallon tank, pool sand, and some furniture for hiding and as of yesterday set everything up with water. I have read that it is very important to "cycle" the tank before putting the Axolotl in the aquarium tank, but my question is....where do I put the poor little guy while cycling that won't kill him??? He looks like he has no room in what he is in now! I can't stand to see him in there any longer and my daughter is begging me to go ahead and put him in the new aquarium tank, of course she is young and does not understand how that is cruel, she is just very excited.
Thank you for any help!
