I haven’t posted on here for some time but I wanted to wish you all a Happy Halloween and let you know that I will be back shortly! Kind of went on an unplanned hiatus due to studying, a new job and just life being rather chaotic in general (we also got leopard geckos and bearded dragons just to add to the workload lol). I don’t have any baby or adult axolotls available at the moment (probably won’t have until early next year). Picture of this year’s pumpkin that I carved. ☺️🎃💀👻🕸️🕷️

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! It’s been a number of weeks since I last posted and I am way behind with my inbox. I can only apologise. 🙈 There is quite a lot going on at home and the last few weeks have been chaotic. On Christmas Eve we found our elderly cat Dibbs had passed away in her favourite sleeping spot… not how we wanted our festive celebrations to begin. 😢💔 As well as dealing with that, and Christmas with 5 children, I’ve had to take down my big Axolotl tank in the living room due to a sunken floorboard… axolotls, tubs and tanks everywhere! I also came down with Covid just before New Year’s Eve too… still getting over that now! 😖 My eldest had her 16th birthday last weekend, and I now have workmen coming to fit heating thermostats and loft insulation… just to cause even more mayhem! If you have read this far, thank you! 🙈😂
On a side note, I’ve had quite a few enquiries about baby axolotls… I don’t have any available at the moment but will hopefully have a handful in a couple of months time. ☺️

What other pets do you keep? Here are some of my American cichlids, with Big Bad Barry the Oscar fish being the star attraction! He’s recovering from HITH at the moment but is still as feisty as ever! This lot are masters at digging and spitting sand everywhere. 😅
I do have a couple more tanks with other American cichlids and I’ve got mudskippers, but I’ll save those for next time! 😉

Besties sharing some lotl love. 😚🤎

Happy Halloween! Did any of you spot us around Folkestone? 😅🎃👻
Apologies for being so absent over the last few weeks. Life at home has just been incredibly busy. I currently don’t have any baby axolotls available; they are all reserved, but if I do have any cancel then I will post them up on here... promise! I have a few weeks worth of messages to catch up on so please bear with me (I’ll work my way through my
Inbox over the next couple of days). Thanks all! ☺️

It’s been a while so here’s a picture of a sweet little albino for you all! ☺️🤍 This one will be going to its new home very shortly. I intend to catch up on messages this evening; not ignoring anyone… promise! The last few weeks have been chaotic but routine is finally back! 😅

Apologies for being a bit ”missing in action”. I’ve managed to survive the first half of the summer holidays somehow - each day I am winging it! 🙈 We got a massive 300L tank upgrade which I have been busy setting up (a very kind man a few streets away happened to be giving it away!). It’s so big I’ve had to rearrange rooms and furniture to accommodate it… it makes the big axolotls look tiny! I’ve also been setting up a chiller on this tank because it had to go in the kitchen where it unfortunately gets a bit too warm (all that weight was safest on a concrete floor lol). The chiller was an absolute steal from eBay! Happy (and cool) axolotls! 😎

I will work my way through my inbox this evening; I had intended to set up an auto responder until I could catch up with everything… but I forgot! 🤦🏻‍♀️

They’re not the smartest creatures… 🙈😂
Thankfully it’s a silk plant so won’t cause any damage to her. Plastic plants sometimes have sharp edges which can cause injuries.

Very fluffy little wild! Can be reserved now and is almost ready to leave me. ☺️🤎

Beautiful wild female. 🥰 She’s a fully grown adult (a big one at that!) and has been with me for a couple of months now.

Treat time! 🍤 Prawns can be fed to axolotls, but they should be raw, defrosted and chopped in to manageable size pieces. They should only be offered as an occasional treat, but be prepared for axolotls refusing their usual food for a day or so after, whilst they sulk for more prawns! I have two adults who have been refusing their worms and pellets for nearly two weeks now, so I’ve managed to tempt them with some prawn this morning… hooray! 🙌

Little sparkly golden albino. 💛✨ This baby axolotl will be going to their forever home in a few weeks time.

I’ve been spotted! 🙈😅

Taking a gulp of air for the camera. 😅 These guys are never kept together but their tubs are being cleaned and it seemed like the perfect opportunity for some group photos! They are all siblings and are now big enough to swim the nest. ☺️💗

Another little one waiting to be collected this afternoon. So cute! 🥹💗

Down the hatch! 🪱 😋

Baby leucistic ☺️💖 Ready in the next few weeks but there is a waiting list and only a few remaining.

Moments after this… they hatched! ☺️✨

Two tiny ones, literally on the verge of hatching last week. 🥰

It only takes a few to start moving and then it sets the rest of them off. 😅 Quite a few have hatched so far but we’re not done yet! 😳 I wouldn’t usually hatch this many (I prefer to keep 40-50 eggs) but they were already close to hatching when they came to me. 🙈
