I was wondering how big a 4-5-month axolotl should be? My axie was born December 2020 (not sure of the date)
I've looked up other axie's in comparison to mine that are also 5 months and mine is significantly smaller. I got her at 3 inches in March and they're now around 4 inches maybe?

I've attached pics of them at 3 inches and a pic of them now. And other axie's that are 4 months old. I know they grow at different rates but just need some input

Growth rates vary drastically and are dependant on food supply, temp and individual growth rates. At 3 or 4 months the biggest in a batch could be 3"-4" whilst the smallest could be an inch. At a year the biggest could be 9" the smallest 5". Aslong as they are healthy its not an issue , just keep similar sized axolotl together to reduce chances of predation.

    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!
