Question: Rehoming baby Axolotls :)

[Aimzs Lotties]

Hi there all,

My 20 babies aren't quite up to the rehoming stage yet, (no back legs as of yet) but since I now have 6 new future axie owners to educate, I was hoping you could give me some advice.

I have already:

• ensured the number of babies they are getting will fit happily in their allocated tank sizes as adults
• suggested they read axolotl.org and join caudata.org (1 new joiner so far)
• told them they need to cycle their tanks (most are starting this week)

So far I plan to:

• help with their tank set-ups (NO gravel, plenty of hides, no bright lights etc.)
• suggest a cleaning routine (daily poop scoops and weekly water changes)
• make sure they are feeding the right foods (bloodworm, earthworm, maybe pellets & the occasional guppy)
• provide a great care sheet (anybody know one)

Anything major I have missed??
Thanks all!

It sounds like you are good. You just got your axies like a few months ago, right?

Pretty sure I got them in April this year (5 months ago). Had to wait 2 months to cycle my tank.. yawn.. Though I've wanted them since last August so it's been a long time coming.

I have learned so much since joining this site! I used to be a horrible gravel-user.. Now I'm a happy sand user! Thanks for the comment!

Oh and I've recently heard from my future axie owners, that 2 of them have names! Smiley (wild-type), and Munch-a-Lotl (Leucistic)

Amiee I think you have it covered. You could always write up your own care sheets.....you could add this site address as a reference for the new axie parents to come onto and have a look around.

Thanks Lea, yeah I think I'll try to write my own.. I was just hoping someone on here may have already done that.. I think I found a good one on caudata culture once.. :S Not sure..

Im sure I have seen one on here as well. I had little look but I cant find it now....it always happens....when you want something you can never find it..
