Questions? Leave them here in the comments! We'd love to hear from you and help in any way we can. 💬

There may be times when your axolotl will need to spend extended periods out of their tank (most commonly when they are tubbed for treating illness or during deworming). Without an axolotl to produce ammonia, the bacteria that make up the nitrogen cycle that keeps your tank healthy have nothing to ....

Believe in the power of second chances! Dexter (formerly Ernie) is thriving in his new forever home, embracing his unique spirit! 🫶

A heartfelt thank you to Dexter's new family for sharing this update with us! And to Ernie's former foster mom, Mindy, for showering him with love until we found his perfect match. We're so incredibly grateful for our selfless fosters whose tireless efforts are what truly make the difference for these cuties!

We're so excited not only to have a member of the Whole Pet Veterinary Center staff fostering for us, but to have our fostered axolotl, Peek-a-boo, living at the Vet Center where she can help educate all of the Center's visitors about axolotls and proper axolotl care!

If you're in the greater Westford, MA area you should stop by Whole Pet Veterinary Center on Saturday, July 26th for Peek-a-boo's official welcome party.

You can also follow Whole Pet here on Facebook to stay up-to-date on the latest antics from Peek-a-boo! 🫶

Okay, so here's the deal: it's International Joke Day and we went looking for axolotl jokes. We tried searching for puns. We tried looking for one-liners. We scoured the web...

What did we find?

NOTHING.
(Okay, some things, but they were all awful! 😝)

So, comment with your best joke! Whoever's joke receives the most likes by the end of this week will receive a special prize :)

And of course, we're forever grateful to our incredible volunteers who've poured their hearts into transporting, treating, feeding, and nurturing these little miracles. Your selflessness has changed lives! 🫶🫶🫶🥹
