I would like to know if it is OK to use an oil diffuser in the same room as an axolotl? and if it is if there is any scents I should avoid? it is next to my window which I have slightly open all the time (like open but locked in place so it's only slightly open, yk?) but my room is quite small. I keep my axolotl in a cupboard with doors I usually have open but I can close it if need be.There is also a setting where it only diffuses intermittently and shuts of after and hour. my tank does not have a lid (I use a net to cover it) and it has a seachem filter.
This is the diffuser:
please let me know thanks 😊
 
I was wondering the same thing! Hope that someone responds with an answer🙂.
 
Hi,

Oil diffusers produce volatil organic compounds, which are not always safe, not only for axolotls, but also for humans.
Of course, their exact composition matters (read it cautiously), and also how it works (burning ?).

Unfortunately, they are only a small part of the pollution we usually breathe in our houses : cleaning products, new furniture, paints, glues,...

Nevertheless ... Happy new year !
 
I can't say for sure that it wouldn't be safe, but for whatever it's worth, I wouldn't personally risk it, especially in the same room. Without being certain of the results, you'd have to ask yourself whether the desire for an oil diffuser outweighs the potential risks. Sorry I can't be more helpful
