Six Baby Axolotl

After a week of hope and expectation, the final count is six of the original nine eggs. The last, named 'Lucky', was ripped out of his egg yesterday. In future I would certainly be less hesitant to perform an egg intervention. The babies are: Wiggles, Peekaboo, Precious, Heidi, Poppy and Lucky. They are all eating tiny pieces of cut up bloodworms, and occasional pieces of boiled egg. Each baby is residing in it's own glass jar, labeled with it's name, and I am changing fifty percent of their water daily. They are very cute and appear to be doing well.

  2. Thanks for your interest Vicki, I sincerely hope I can raise them to a happy and healthy adulthood. Axolotls are really interesting, and my adult Nessie (I estimate 12 months) has a definite personality!
