do you know if ox liver is good to feed them? Jenn & Lisa Tate, NZ
 
The best thing to feed your Axy is worms, but my axy's favourite is frozen fish. That axie is about 22 cm long and is growing slowly. I was originaly going to name her "roundy" after the container I carried her home in a year ago (when she was 6cm long), but now I've thought that's not such a good name. Feeding your axies liver can give them gas in their digestive tracts, it is also really fattening. Also your axies may not be deformed, because 6 cm Axies actively cannibalise eachother, if you seperate them out they should go back to normal but often + or - a few toes, because even though they are capable of regenerating lost parts, it's not always perfect. Earlier this summer I bought two more axies in the hope of finding her a mate, but they've all turned out to be girls.
 
wow you can really see the nose on that axie or is that just a marking?.

    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.
