R/axolotls gets on my nerves man

[hannarm06]

I posted a picture of my happy girl after a VERY tiny piece of lean meat off of a steak (less than pea-size), unseasoned, no fat. It looked like she was smiling and I thought it was cute. From there, I had people telling me that mammal meat is “toxic” or harmful to axolotls, and that it’s entirely indigestible. Literally anywhere else I’ve researched has said beef and steak are fine in moderation as an occasional treat. The only place I’ve heard differently is in that subreddit on more than one post, but nowhere else. When I expressed that and said I took the info with a grain of salt as I didn’t have a reliable source on it, I got downvoted lol. I’m perfectly fine with being proven wrong if anyone has a reputable, science-backed source telling me mammal meat is toxic to axolotls, but that subreddit is an echo chamber of its own misinformation so I’m skeptical of most of the advice given there.

Axolotl keepers be crazy. They like to tell you what for. Do what works for you.
