LibertyLand Axolotl Rescue

LibertyLand Axolotl Rescue Our goal is twofold: first, to rescue, rehab and rehome axolotls in need; second, to educate the public about proper axolotl care.

We have some big and exciting news...

We're launching our own ๐€๐ฑ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐€๐ข๐ ๐Š๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ!!! ๐Ÿš‘ ๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ’‰

As a rescue, we see a lot of different types of injuries and illnesses. That's why we want our adopters (and all the other axolotl parents out there ๐Ÿ˜œ) to be ready for anything.

We used our combined brain cells and years of experience working with axolotls to put together our own ๐€๐ฑ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐€๐ข๐ ๐Š๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ, which will be available for purchase at the ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐„๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‘๐ž๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐จ taking place this ๐’๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ, ๐…๐ž๐›. ๐Ÿ๐ง๐, in Manchester, NH (link below).

Each kit contains a guide with basic information on how we treat common axolotl illnesses like fungal and bacterial infections, as well as simple tubbing instructions and some other useful tips. In addition to the guide, each kit contains:
๐Ÿš‘ 1 shoebox-sized plastic tub with cover
๐Ÿš‘ 1 USB mini air pump with air hose, 1 air hose valve, and 1 air stone
๐Ÿš‘ 1 1oz bottle of PraziPro parasite treatment
๐Ÿš‘ 1 50mL bottle of Seachem Prime water conditioner
๐Ÿš‘ 1 4oz bottle of Methylene Blue
๐Ÿš‘ 10 Indian Almond Leaves
๐Ÿš‘ 5 black tea bags
๐Ÿš‘ 3 5mL reusable plastic pipettes
๐Ÿš‘ 1 5g tube of KanaPlex
๐Ÿš‘ 1 5g tube of MetroPlex
๐Ÿš‘ 2 1g packets of Fritz Expel-P

Price TBD, but we'll have 8 kits available at the Manchester show to help raise money to support the axolotls currently in our care. Come say hi this weekend!

Our buddy Wario is ready to find his forever home. Heโ€™s had a long journey and was severely burned by aloe and salt, but his slime coat has recovered beautifully and his gills are poking out. He let us know that he despises tubs and now that he is being fostered in a tank is starting to thrive. He has the cutest big face and is a sweet boy. Apply for him today and he could be picked up at the Manchester NH show!

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through January, but it's true. While we're very excited about what 2025 has in store for the rescue, we're very concerned about the outlook for another group this year: wild axolotls.

Hello everyone,

As we close out 2024 and usher in a new year, we invite you to join us as we celebrate some significant milestones achieved by our rescue this year.

First, however, allow us to say thank you to each and every one of you who supported our efforts to make the lives of captive-bred axolotls better this yearโ€”whether it was liking a post, donating a few dollars, or fostering an axolotl (or ten ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜œ), we could not do what we do without YOU.

Thank you for helping us have an amazing year, and here's to more education, rehabilitation, and adoptions in 2025!

Included below is a link to our website, where you can find both our Axolotl Care Guide (complete with a shopping list of supplies to have on hand, common health issues to watch for, and other helpful basic axolotl care info), and the LLA Blog, which has detailed information on topics ranging from what to feed your axolotls to how their anatomy works.

A few reminders:
1๏ธโƒฃ Here at LLA, we do not promote fish-in cycling. Fish-in cycling exposes axolotls to extremely toxic concentrations of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrateโ€”all of which they may not survive.
2๏ธโƒฃ On average, it takes 6-12 weeks of manually dosing ammonia and testing to properly cycle a tank to make it safe for your axolotl.
3๏ธโƒฃ If you have not cycled your tank accordingly, please tub your axolotl(s) and reach out to our team for a copy of our new cycling guide (which will also be available on our website shortly!).

Weโ€™ve included a tubbing guide for those of you not already familiar with this practice. And remember: our team is always here to help answer your questions, so donโ€™t be shy!

Look at our sweet Peaches and Spot snuggling!! These two are actually a bonded pair, our first to require that they be adopted together. They are never far apart from each other, even with other Axolotlโ€™s in their tank and go to each other when scared of something. Itโ€™s truly a beautiful friendship and we want to honor it by not separating them. Do you have room in your heart or tank for these two sweet girls?!
