Weekly update 1 - 21/12/19

Going to start doing weekly updates on all of the babies every Saturday so that I can see how they are progressing.

Here is my biggest axolotl who is now called link 😁 is just over 5" now, has grown probably 2 inches since it got here and is eating really well and getting really tame. I can out my finger in the water now and it comes over to get it's nose tickled.

My next biggest axolotl who is now called Sam is  getting bigger (just over 3") only eating about 6 blood worms a day but is growing nicely so I'm happy. This one is also getting noticeably tamer but is still a bit jittery.

This one has grown maybe 1 cm in the past couple weeks but is starting to eat better so I expect it to start really growing soon. It is also filling out nicely and it's legs have now fully formed and are getting thicker all the time.

The next biggest babies are kept in my 3 draw A4 cabinet and they have practically doubled in size in the last week. They seem to grow on a daily basis.

There are currently 9 of them in together but I think I will need to seperate them out according to size very soon.

They guys are maybe 1.5-2cm long now and some of them are now too big to fit in a turkey baster so I have had to modify one to make the end wider 😁

The next guys are all from the last batch of eggs that I bought and they have all hatched in the past week and a half and are growing really well.

These guys are around 1cm in length at the moment and growing nicely.


I currently have one egg left to hatch and this guy is taking his time compared to his brothers and sisters!!

I think when it hatches I will keep it in a tub on its own and see how it grows compared to its siblings.
