My baby colours

[jenny]

Ok so my male leusistic(spellin?) and my wildtype female had babies and I had quite the colour colection. I thought I would share some piccys.

The albinos vary from white through to a strong yellow with the inbetween pale yelllows too.

I love them they are so sweet. x

Jenny they are exquisite. And what a range of colours! I am raising 4 day old axies at the moment (dad was wild type and mum white like in your 2nd photo) and I'd love some tips. Yours seem very healthy - how do you do it? How old are your babies and how many do you have in each container?

Thank you, I have seen your thread, It's amazing how little they start off. When they were tiny I had them in small takeaway pots. I kept them in 10's then as they get bigger I reduced the numbers and then put them in storage boxes so they had more room.

It is amazing how much time you have to spend looking after the little darlings. My routine was to change the water in the tubs completely everyday ( having left it overnight to get to room temp etc) clean the tub. Fresh water and babies back in then feed. Usually took about 1 1/2 to 2 hours a night . Then start over again the next day.

I had never raised babies before and this was not planned I read all the info on this great forum and Axolotl.org

Thanks Guys'
