Hello all,


I have 2 baby Axolotls that are about 2 months old now.
I used to have about 30, but after a 3-day holiday, the 2 larger ones

They are in a seperate tank inside.
My 2 adults live in a pond outside. Don't worry, they are doing fine, they love hunting live mosquito larvae.

My question, when is it safe to let the younglings back with their parents?
They are the only 2 left from about 30 hatchlings.
We went on a 3-day holiday and 2 grew large fast, and had a nice feast together.
I really don't want to lose those 2.


Thanks in advance!

Don't reintroduce until the babies are the same size as the adults, to avoid nipping/snacking.
Cannibalism is normal in babies sadly, it's always good to keep them as separate as possible :(

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail.
