Hi
I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. I have two Axolotls (a dirty Lucy and a green morph wild) which are about 5-6 months old. I’d been feeding them on frozen blood worm but noticed that my green morph isn’t growing as fast as my dirty Lucy, so I got some dendrobaena worms to try them on. First few times I’ve fed them they seemed to enjoy them but the last couple of times they show curiosity to the tweezers because they know that means food but then turn away after having a good look at the worm. I’ve been rinsing the worms first and then cutting them into smaller pieces for them. I didn’t know if maybe I should carry on with the bloodworm and see how they go on with them as they get older or whether there’s a better worm to try.

thank you

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
