![]() ![]() ![]() Get some earthworms, they are the best food, no contest. Mealworms are a poor choice and certainly no good as an staple. Providing several hiding spots (bark, wood, rocks.) is a good idea, and also having a layer of moss or leaf-litter. The substrate you currently have could potentially cause damage to the skin it has rough edges. For that matter you need to provide a few inches deep substrate, i think most people use a combination of top soil and coco fiber. They, like other ambystomatids, are borrowing creatures that love to dig themselves a nice hole. If the axolotl was young when it morphed, the chances are better. They are not meant to morph, it´s not natural, and so, it usually works out badly. Sadly, most metamorphosed axolotls have a shortish life. Judging by your story i would guess that perhaps conditions were awful in the water, which forced the axolotl to morph and scape from the tank. Below are some pics.tell me what you think!! She is a little miracle and I want to make sure she survives!! but I cannot find hardly any info online as to how to keep her. Although she moves slowly she appears healthy as she eats plenty of mealworms and even shed her skin last night. They actually thought she was dead, so when they picked her up thinking she was gone, she gave them a good bite to tell them she was alive! She has grown eyelids, and is completely air breathing. She simply escaped from her tank and they couldnt find her anywhere, only to discover her several weeks later behind a section of fish tanks, completely morphed. I know that some people cruelly try to force their axolotls to morph, but this was a completely freak accident. When I asked the man what it was he said it was an axolotl that had morphed into a salamander. One of the tanks looked empty except for a little pink head sticking out from the undergrowth! This was a completely terrestrial tank, except for a small bowl of water. I was recently in my local petshop looking at some new frogs and reptiles they had in as I was thinking of keeping some. ![]()
