Yeah they'll probably think they're terrestrial

(because you can find wooper in grass on gold, silver and crystal)

Yes they might think that, or they might not think at all and just be overall totally unprepared.

I still think its a good idea, the more homes for axies the better.

So long as their parents think about these things, they will be good homes too.

I think the problem lies with the petshop's, not the people who buy them.

If the petshop says do this, why would people have any reason to doubt them?

I know I certainly didn't, I was so mad at them when I found out that the "care advice" they gave me was a load of <font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font><font color="ff0000">&#149;</font>!

Every time I visit a shop that sells axies I always make sure that I speak to the keeper, just to make sure they know what the conditions should be.

Half the time it makes no difference at all, but I go home knowing I've tried.

This one place, THE HOLLYBUSH, is awful to axies.

They are over crowded, in warm water, with massive water current, UVA lighting on 24/7 and small gravel just to mention a few things.

Every time I try to tell them they are wrong they just say, "well this is how they are kept at Dudley Zoo, so it is right".

Or they say, "well one of our keepers has kept them as pets for 10 years, and he says its fine."

There's just no telling them. I've gave them the address to this forum, but it obviously does no good

Arg I hate petshops that have no idea how to keep th animals and it always seems to be the reptiles and amphibians that aren't properly taken care for.

Yes petshops can be terrible and by the sound of things that HOLLYBUSH is one of them. They don't care even if you tell them what they're doing is wrong. They just want to sell them without a care in the world.

Exactly Jordan, you hit the nail on the head there.

Its all about sales at the Hollybush, I hate that place, but I have to shop there because its the only place for miles around that sells the food my tortoise eats.

I have had the same problem with my local petshop,the current was so strong the axies couldnt get a grip on the ground so were bobbing around like they were boiling,when I told them that axies dont like current,the girl replied "I know,but these ones dont seem to mind" and walked off,what could I say.You are right Jordan,it's all about sales,animals are just product,and usually are being sold at two or three hundred percent markup,so the odd death doesnt factor.
Hayley,your tank still reminds me of Bedrock,you need a Flintstones car in there,lol

 

[hayley-jane]

lol I'll look on eBay

cool idea
