Hi

I want to give my axies some yummy treats when there older and wondered what you give yours and which are best received?
Mine are only young at the moment so I won't try any yet but what age did you start giving yours treats?


Would be great to know :) thanks
 
WORMS lol. The wrigglers perk their interest and they are great for them.
 
Yours are about 2.5" arnt they? you can give small whole worms or chopped bigger ones, they will love them.
 
My adult axies get large unchopped worms. They really can handle a lot. As a treat I give them a waxworm from time to time and an occasional cricket, which they really love. Mostly worms though.
 
For treats, mine get squirrel meat, deer meat, frogs, tadpoles, fish, shrimp, crawdads, other salamanders, crickets, roaches, etc. They are my little garbage disposal units.
 
I've been talking with a company over here in the UK that deals with worms and other fish feeds. They are interested in creating a more specialized feed website and I've suggested they come here for a gander. They may even have a look at breeding scuds and figuring out a way to ship them though I have no idea if that is even possible. As for food I have one that is a garbage disposal unit another that is the pickiest sod going.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
