Cam’s Axolotl’s

06/20/2023

This is extreme gill curling in a axolotl. If you see slight curling it is likely them trying to hone in on food. This baby jumped out and was out of water for about 20 minutes. Axolotl’s with extreme gill curling like this can also be caused from extreme water parameters. It’s super important to test your axolotl water weekly because high ammonia,nitrites, and nitrates can be devastating on your axolotl.

He has had a tea bath and is trying to and will likely recover. If so he will be available to a pet only home for a small fee.

Please don’t ever buy babies like this!

A warning to people impulse-buying axolotls (or EGGS!) at trade shows:

I am told that there are currently many "breeders" trying to dump hatchling and very small juvenile axolotls right now due to the extreme shortage of blackworms and other small, live food sources. Several people have reported to me that bags of eggs are even being sold at trade shows! These vendors have over-produced babies or had accidental clutches and thought it was a good idea to hatch them, or don't have the sense to cull the excess eggs, and now find that there simply isn't enough food available to keep them alive without spending the equivalent of a mortgage payment for a 2-week food supply.

Before you decide to take home tiny babies you need to understand that you're going to have the same problem, just on a smaller scale. Babies need frequent feeding with live foods. They will not take frozen, dried, or otherwise preserved foods for the first 6-8 weeks, and may require direct hand feeding for non-living foods for weeks after that. This means you need a constant source of live, high-protein foods of appropriate sizes as the babies grow. If you don't have them, the babies will grow very slowly, be permanently stunted, or die outright of malnutrition.

As I've stated on this page before; You should never get an axolotl under three months old unless you are experienced in their care, and have the necessary resources. An ethical seller will tell you that.

Please be aware:
(a) There are many genetic and health issues that are not obvious before about three months of age.
(b) Hatchlings and small juveniles are very sensitive to water conditions that have little effect on an older animal. In other words, they're fragile.
(c) After three months of age axolotls can be trained to take a variety of prepared and preserved foods that are readily available at pet shops or online, and can eat small nightcrawlers, red wigglers, etc. without hand-feeding. In fact, most responsible breeders will have already trained 3-4 month juveniles on pellets, worms, or other foods that are easy to obtain. We won't sell them at all (other than to people who have the requisite experience) unless they are eating floating pellets consistently.

These Eight should be ready nearing the end of march getting into April. Three Wild Type and Five Melanistic.

02/14/2023

These seven babies are going to be ready for new homes! Hopefully at the beginning of March as long as they are staying with their feeding and growth patterns. Three Wild Types and Four Melanistic.

This would be the perfect time to start setting up a new tank with a fishless cycle for these babies.

Gemini taking the show! Thank you Jacob for the name! Also no worry for the baby guppies in with them. They don’t want to eat frozen and will only eat live. If it wasn’t this special baby I wouldn’t go this choice.

A lotl of us are separated now. We are starting to grow our back legs and becoming independent. We are are eating frozen brine shrimp and live brine shrimp to get us used to a non live diet. In about a month and a half we will be eating pellets and cut up worms and ready to go to our new homes!

“And if you look to my right you will see my children.” 😂

We have front legs now! Once we start growing back legs we will be separated from each other but for now we enjoy the company and it helps us eat and grow! Still about 3 months out from getting new homes.

11/28/2022

Only looking about 50 babies. Small clutch but it is her first so I wasn’t expecting a big yield.

The reason why Axolotl’s cannot be on rocks of any size. Their mouth opens two times the size and is like a vacuum. They also have poor eyesight and it is hard for them to differentiate food from other things in the tank.

Some more Basic information on owning and caring for Axolotl’s

11/17/2022

Some basic information on how to care for an axolotl. A lot more is needed to be researched such as the biological cycling of a tank,how to properly test water, and cleaning of a tank.

If possible I’ll try and find resources for information on these things. Proper water care is essential for axolotl’s they are extremely sensitive to water quality and any pollutants in the water. So certain chemicals and water conditioners cannot be used with them.

Axolotl’s (like goldfish) produce a lot of ammonia and waste so having a good filtration system that will filter at least 2x your tank size is a must. (If you have a 20 gallon tank you will need a filter rated for 40 gallon tanks).

If I cannot find the proper resources for these things I will make a separate post.
