Our Axolotl Uffin constantly stays thin, we feed him a lot of food. 2-3 worms every 1-2 days and we have been experimenting with all different food sources as all our other axies prefer different food.

So in the last few weeks he has been given bloodworms, black worm cubes, axie pellets, tadpoles and different types of earth worms.

Uffins favourite is defs a large fat taddy :lol: which he would eat as many possible in a day but he never seems to get any fatter. He has been like this since we have got him.

P.s We are unsure if he is a male or female as well but I am quite certain he is still juvenille.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
