Axolotl rescue, rehoming & advice service, based in the Cheshire area - we also deliver between Ches
Hi everyone, here are the details for this little treasure, she is a fairly small axolotl at 7 inches long and would need a home with a companion. She is 2 years old, eats very well and we want her to go to someone who has experience with axolotls.
If you think you can help, please get in touch, she has a lovely personality, is very curious and loves company 💕
Hello, we hope everyone is well. We have an adorable Lucy that is looking for a new family.
More details to follow, any interest pls DM us.
She does need to have a companion though, we feel this is important, she is currently making friends with some of our own axies.
Hi everyone, thanks to all our followers and hi to everyone new 👋
We've been quiet for a while, but I wanted to chat about axolotls that stop feeding. We've had a lot of experience with very sick axolotls and getting them feeding again.
Firstly if your axie doesn't seem themselves and is in a tank you can tub them with an almond leaf, this allows you to control the water parameters with daily water changes.
Check the water parameters in your tank, often problems are caused by the levels in your tank being off.
An axolotl can go about 2 weeks without eating, check the temperature of your water isn't too low, below 14 degrees celsius their metabolism slows down and they may lose their appetite, water in your tank that's too warm is also a major stressor, the ideal range is 14 - 20 degrees celsius.
Are you feeding your worms the right food or different foods than usual?
As a last resort you can try raw salmon, it must be pre-frozen for at least a month before feeding it to them.
If you are still concerned about your axolotl, get some advice from an exotics vet and it may need to see them, we use Birch Heath at Tarporley 👨⚕️🏥
Hope that covers everything and was helpful 👍
*NOW ON HOLD*
Say hi to Goldie, she is now seeking a new guardian. She's a female golden albino, very pretty long gills and has been raised from an egg by us, she would ideally like company as she has lived with her sisters and is 2 years old in mid July 💕
Interested please contact us, thank you
Our Billy is still searching for a room mate, he's around 11 inches and has been with us for some time. He's very inquisitive and has recently lost his 2nd tank mate 😕
If you would like to give Billy a permanent 🏡 have another male axolotl who needs some company pls get in touch 💕
We are reluctantly letting go of several of our own axolotls 😕 that have been raised from eggs.
If you have plenty of time, are knowledgeable about axolotls and have a large cycled tank please get in touch 📩
We will have a female copper pair and gold albino girl coming up in the next few weeks 💕
*Update - unfortunately Hans was too sick to recover, he went off to sleep peacefully this morning 🥲*
Keeping our fingers crossed for Hans, our Anderson's axolotl. Not sure he's going to pull through. He's currently having treatment from the vet but there hasn't been much improvement ☹️
Best wishes to all of you and a Happy New 2022 🎄
Can anyone guess who this is? Our little October pet shop rescue, amazed by her fast recovery in two months . All she needs now is a new 🏡

A huge thank you to all of you
A big shout out to Tessa, thank you so much for sharing this photo of your fab tank set up for Stoor, it's great to see him at home and settled 💕
A huge thank you to the lady from the Wirral and her family who adopted our last 2 wild juveniles this week. It was a pleasure to meet you and see the fab tank you put together for them 😘
A big Thank You to the lovely family in Liverpool who have adopted one of our wild juveniles today.
Good luck with your newest family member 👍
Update on our latest little rescue, we have had her for nearly 3 weeks, her gills are growing, both front legs look healthier, they seemed underdeveloped compared to her back legs which was probably an injury. She's eating baby dendrobenas from our wormery, is filling out more and seems to have quite a fiesty attitude 💖
A belated Thank You to a local couple who adopted 2 of our juveniles, several weeks ago🏡👍
Every axolotl that's adopted means we have space to help another in need 🤒
*Update* All adopted
These are our last juveniles that are looking for a 🏡 Super healthy and growing fast, 5 inches now. It's hard to capture their colours, they really have the most beautiful markings 💖
Message us if interested 👍
With quite a few enquiries about axolotl basics, thought this may help some of you, this is a really good channel - Frankie's aquatics, he covers lots of different subjects :)

So, everyone has been itching for me to make this video, so without further ado, here's how to successfully cycle your axolotl aquarium!Music: BalloonMusicia...
We found this little axolotl yesterday in a pet shop, clearly in need of some help. She has come home with us and hopefully will start improving soon ❣️
These little guys are growing fast, they are now eating bigger dendrobenas a lot more 😆 They have beautiful markings and very long fluffy gills 💖
Interested?

Yesterday, these guys went off to a new home in Wales, it was quite hard to see them go as we have had them 15 months. Thank you so much to the lady who has adopted them. June 2020 photos and yesterday, as you can see they have really thrived with the right conditions. Good luck guys 👋💕
Just a little note about Wirral Axolotls...
We have had a lot of enquiries recently about axolotls which is really great, as in our experience there is a lot of misinformation out there and quite often pet shops and aquatic centres give the wrong advice.
Please, if you enquire about an axolotl and we say we are holding it for you, you must let us know if you change your mind, we took on some rescues recently for several people waiting for one and when we contacted them to see if their tanks are ready/rescues were available, they are now no longer wanted.
We run things on our own time and at our own expense, around other jobs, we are not making a profit, we simply care a great deal about these beautiful animals.
Also if you have had an axolotl from us and you find yourself in the position that you cannot care for it any longer please contact us, we can take them back or suggest somewhere that can......
Thanks
Annis & Nick
Before and after, love this little guy 💖
These juveniles have some beautiful markings, they've eating well and have gone straight onto dendrobenas with no problems 💖
These two guys love floating in the plants... they're patiently waiting to go to their new home too 💖
Dinner time 🍽️😆
New arrivals, these little guys were born in February, they are just going onto dendrobenas. Beautiful markings and they are looking for caring 🏡.
We still have several available.
