Ethical Axolotls

I can't for the life of me remember who asked for an update on Archer - but here we are!

Archer is still SO green. I won't be breeding them (too smol) but their mom will hopefully be producing some similar babies next year.

Some of Archer's siblings include "Glo-meo", "Mimo", "Kaido", and "Beetlejuice". All have found loving homes, and I think most of their parents are following this page!

"Buddy" came to us yesterday - I think it was just yesterday? Wow. Since he's been here (24-48hr) he's eaten two chopped European nightcrawlers (spaced out, of course), which was totally unexpected.

Buddy will be looking for a 🏠 once he recovers. Feel free to contact if interested, as well as help me name him - he can't stay Buddy forever!

As Thanksgiving and other winter holidays are around the corner, I want to say that I appreciate everyone who follows us or has liked our page.

Every bit of engagement counts, and it allows us to find more interested homes for rescues, and fund our continued efforts to medicate and care for any surrendered axolotl.

Even still, a lot of 'needs' and 'wants' go unaccounted for. If you're feeling comfortable contributing monetarily, we have an Amazon wishlist set-up here:

Thank you to everyone who contributes to the rescue, big or small, or engages with our posts.

Also,

We will be at Mat-Su Animal Shelter today with AK AXolotls and I hope that you will join us! 12-2pm.

Come see AK AXolotls and Ethical Axolotls at the Mat-Su Animal Shelter on Saturday, November 16th. 12-2pm.

We'll be adopting out rescue axolotls, providing education for interested aquatics owners, and sharing some stickers.

If you are interested in adopting an axolotl, or just learning more about them, join us!

We'll have some cuties :)

Polaris is a HANDSOME boy. He was sent to me by Nina's Axolotl Nursery (having trouble tagging your page Nina Kramer).

He's always been handsome, and Nina was awesome in setting this up for my program - she had presumed his s*x pretty young, and no surprises it was accurate!

Starting tomorrow, Friday October 11th, all dog adoptables will be 50% off in an effort to connect our canines with their new families!

October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and we want to find as many of our dogs their furever homes in honor of this month!

Pookie loves to float. Floating is a pretty common hobby for many axolotls, however if they begin to float atypically from their normal behavior, or float with curled gills, it may be a good idea to test water with a liquid test kit.

Enjoying her duckweed pillow? So is she!

Pookie is enjoying the sandstorm! This is a friendly reminder that substrate should be fine grained sand, particularly soft (even finely crushed quartz can be sharp to their GI tract and eyes!)

Some highly recommended substrates are

Exoterra Riverbed Sand (I have this one)
https://a.co/d/aDLh8xa

CaribSea's Moonlight Super Naturals
https://a.co/d/fxEZ0WS

Keep in mind, as lovely as black substrate may be in an aquarium, it's very difficult to find a lotl-safe substrate in black, particularly in the US. In EU there is a brand "JBL" which produces lotl-safe sand in multiple colors, however I imagine it is expensive to import, vs 10lb for $15-$20 as are the sands above.

Your substrate should be stirred at least weekly, but ideally during each water change. You can blow it around with a hose, you can stir with a wooden spoon - it doesn't matter so long as the gasses beneath the sand are disturbed, and any detrius is removed.

I highly recommend choosing for grain-size over aesthetic, as it makes your job easier and the axolotl safer. Fewer vet bills means more money to spend on worms!

Hey y'all, come see us for Trunk-Or-Treat on Halloween, 4pm-6pm.

We'll be at the Mat-Su Animal Shelter handing out candy and showing off axolotls!

Save the Date!

We will be having Trunk or Treat at the shelter on Thursday October 31st!

We will have candy, costumes, and our classroom will be an education hub for some of our "Creepy" Crawly friends - meet some of these fabulous friends during Halloween so we can take the "Creepy" out of our slithery, scaley, hairy and spidery friends!

I've been a bit like a fish out of water lately. My brother passed suddenly on Labor Day, and it's hard getting out of bed, let alone keep up with rescue and breeding activities.

Thankfully, I have a community of breeders willing to step up and help me when I need it. Big shout out to Kindred Aquatics , Charlotls Axolotls LLC , and Siserah’s Aquatic Escape for doing so much for me.

I won't have animals available on my website for awhile, but feel free to message me here on my business page if you're looking for a particular axolotl.

Speaking of fish out of water - here's Kirbs!
