Hi there, I have 2 axolotls. We first got one 3 months ago or so... He has obviously got bigger. A couple of weeks ago we added by getting another one. Unfortunately the guy who sold it kinda emphasized its size and it came smaller than our original. We put a divider in the tank but occasionally let them through to eachother with no problems and maybe a little naiively took the divider out after a few days. Theyve been fine for a few weeks but recently i noticed the smaller ones leg was missing :( weve separated them now but im wondering if theres anything i need to do other than keeping her well fed in clean water etc...

Thanks, ill post photos.

It should just grow back, there's nothing to do but keep it in a good environment. Good luck!
 
Thats what I thought. Thankyou.

Update. 5 days later and the leg has started growing back!

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
