Oh my gosh that is adorable! I love the 3rd picture where he is looking at us from the edge of the bottle!
 
The pictures are rather cute, but it would worry me that your axolotl may become trapped in the bottle. I personally would put it on its side .
 
No need to worry. The bottle isn't in the tank anymore.
 
Is that how milk is sold in Canada? If so, you guys are way behind the times.
 
That's very cute, but I worry that it would give some overzealous entrepreneur evil ideas! :eek:

Anybody see that article about key chains in China?! HERE
 
Yes, I did see that Shannon. It makes me pretty mad that China has such lax laws regarding animal welfare. If something similar were to occur in America, everyone would be in an uproar, but in China it's a stupid fad that is going to cost millions of animals their lives.
 
Slightly off-topic, but I get milk in glass milk bottles from the milkman. If I were to buy it from a shop, it'd either be in plastic bottles that have a molded-in handle, or in a cardboardy carton. Never seen a BAG of milk before though. Any chance of a photo? I'm really curious :D
 
Bagged milk :D

I have been sitting for what feels like days wondering about bagged milk...It makes sense, but I dread to think what my children would do with it :D
 
That's a lot of milk in one bag:D But milk is good.
 
I always love shocking people with the "yes we get milk in bags". Also, what people in the US call smarties we call rockets. Our smarties are kind of like M & M's. We have those too though. And our mars bars are different too.

I like candy :D

Hmmm... No... I don't believe you, you should send us some so we can see for ourselves :cool:
 
its funny seeing how backwards the world is in some places.

in Australia, milk comes for $1 a liter in a plastic bottle at Coles or Woolworths, but for some reason it looks like it would taste better from a glass. we also get UHT milk in a carton, from the shelf! its not powdered, its just heat treated so it lasts for ages out of the fridge in a sealed carton.

one of those bottles looks like it would make a great hide for a small axie if you managed to get some java moss to grow all over it.
 
Ah! Powdered milk! We get that in plastic bottles (same shape as the glass bottles, but with a lid). Possibly in bags / boxes too, though I've not seen any.
 
Oh bagged milk... I miss Canada!

There were so many delicious things there. Like CaraMilk.

Although I did have to have care packages of Cherry Coke and Dr. Pepper sent up. That Canadian pop with its 'alternative' sweeteners just didn't do it for me like high fructose corn syrup.

    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!
