Just got back home to find our 'gang' nearing completion.

A friend looked after the tadpoles while we were away and he had the joy of seeing them all evolve.

Loads of pattern variation and styles. 23 black and yellow and 4 more tads left to morphe.

Started with 34 so a bit sad to have lost some along the way.

Biggest problem now is what to feed them all on as they are all so small!!!!!!!!

"I salute you all...fellow 'Caudate Loonies'!"

Here's some more pics of the gang!

Any suggestions on feeding this bunch of tiny (1"!) individuals would be gratefully received!

Cheers,

Mike

Wow!
They are little crackers! I could only think of small worms!... maybe blood worms or other small insects.

Great work with your young salamandra. It is lots of fun to raise these morphs. I have had good luck with feeding small pieces of red worms to my morphs. They will eat nearly anything that is small enough for them and has plenty of movement.

Best of Luck

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
