Rehoming

[Star]

What age is best to rehome baby axies? Out of my remaining 8 I only plan on keeping 2. One of them has fully developed front legs and his back legs are tehre he just doesn't seem to use them yet The rest are all a couple of weeks younger so not quite there yet but if I can look for new homes soon I'd like to scope out good ones in advance

I'd say when you've got them readily accepting thawed bloodworm (when the hard bit is out of the way!), but with no personal experience, that's just what seemed practical from what I've read :happy: Congrats on doing so well with them

P.S. What about photo/s of the 1s you're keeping, if you've decided yet???

I haven't decided on which golden yet but keeping the little white albino if it doesn't suddenly turn golden lol. Will get some pics tomorrow of them all if I can find my camera though Gave them live bloodworm last night, they loved it

I usually don't ship them until they're around 3cm or bigger, preferably 4.

Thanks Kaysie

I started selling mine at 3-4cm when they were happily scurrying around the bottom of the tank sucking up frozen blood worm and sifting the live blackworm out of the sand. They had their front legs and the back ones were about 1/3rd of the way there when the first ones went. From memory they were about 5 weeks old.

I think my little wild type is ready to be re homed then but he has such beautiful gills I may keep him since my wild type I have already looks black until you shine light on her, I could do with a greeny one too... Got myself a free 2ft tank, a free 1.5ft tank and free very large viv today so I think I can safely add another couple to my collection....
