My axolotl hurt his limb and it seems to be broken, do you guys think he's in pain? He has been hiding in his cave a lot lately and he only seems to want to eat when i hand feed him. Should I take him to the vet? I know him just chilling is normal behaviour but im scared he's in pain :^(
 
It does look broken/twisted. If the arm seems to be causing discomfort you take them to a vet as they should be able to amputate so the arm grows back straight, or you can at least get their opinion. The arm will heal regardless, but if not amputated it may just heal in this position and always look like it is waving at you, haha.
Is there another axolotl in the tank that could have caused this?

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
