Product Information

From an evolutionary perspective, axolotls are comparatively extremely young in contrast to other Mexican salamanders. Scientists estimate that they have only been in their native habitat for about 10,000 years. These creatures did not have long to flourish, for around the thirteenth century their home began to be settled by humans. After the land was claimed by Spain in the 1500’s urbanization began to rapidize until the area became modern day Mexico City, leaving but a tiny fraction of the axolotl’s biome for them to dwell. Biologists have taken note of how axolotls express traits in adulthood that other amphibians only show during adolesence, like breathing underwater, and hypothesize that this could be because of their incredibly brief chance to evolve before their populations became seriously threatened. Habitat Depois de seco, guarde o axolote caseiro pellets de alimentos in um recipiente hermético in um lugar fresco e seco. Eles podem ser guardados por diversas semanas, mas é melhor fazer lotes menores para garantir frescor. Adult axolotls rely mostly on their sense of smell to capture their food and don’t have very good eyesight. Baby axolotls, however, require live foods because their sense of smell isn’t strong yet and they rely on spotting movement to identify food sources.

The axolotl’s scientific name is Ambystoma mexicanum. There is some debate regarding the origin of the name, however. The genus was named by Johann Jakob von Tschudi in 1839, and he did not provide information regarding the derivation of the name. Freshly hatched brine shrimp is best for baby axolotls. They can be cultured more easily compared to daphnia and they’re affordable and an easily available food option.

Axolotl food pellets are carefully formulated to provide the necessary nutrients for the overall well-being of these unique creatures. The nutritional composition of axolotl pellets typically includes a high percentage of protein, as axolotls are carnivorous and require a substantial amount of protein in their diet. Protein is essential for growth, tissue repair, and maintaining a healthy immune system. You’ll also find all sorts of vitamins and minerals in there that will help you keep your axolotl healthy and vital. You’ll find vitamins D3, B12, A, C, and other nutrients such as spirulina, biotin, riboflavin, and many others. Efforts are being made to protect axolotl populations, including conservation programs in Mexico and the United States. The government has established protected areas around Lake Xochimilco in Mexico to preserve the axolotl’s natural habitat. Axolotls are carnivorous and require a diet of live prey like fish, insects, worms, and crustaceans. With their opportunistic feeding behavior, axolotls possess a voracious appetite and a willingness to devour nearly anything that fits within their mouths. Axolotls are primarily carnivorous and require a diet rich in protein and other essential nutrients. While live food such as earthworms, daphnia, and bloodworms are ideal for their diet, pellets are a convenient alternative that can be used to supplement their feedings.

First, axolotls under the size of 4 inches should not be fed pellets as they may not be able to digest them properly and may choke or suffer from impaction. Marca de pellets | Características principais | | ———— | ———— | | Marca A | – Alto teor de proteínasAnother potential issue with earthworms is that they require washing before you feed them to your axolotl to remove dirt and soil. Avoid overfeeding: Watch out for overfeeding, as it can cause your axolotl to become overweight and have tummy troubles. Make sure you give them just the right amount of food for their size, and keep an eye on how much they eat. Axolotl Pellets: Pellets can be used to supplement an axolotl's main diet of earthworms. Three recommended types with at least 45% protein are Rangen Salmon Pellets , Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets , and Invert Aquatics Pellets.

Water Conditioner: Water conditioner is required for treating any new water that is added to your aquarium for both chlorine and heavy metals. Seachem Prime is the most widely recommended conditioner for axolotls, especially due to it being known to not contain any substances harmful to axolotls, such as aloe vera, iodine, or copper. Many other conditioners contain aloe or other slime coat additives that are irritants to axolotls. This conditioner is also beneficial because it can be overdosed up to 5x the normal dosage in emergencies, to detoxify ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Despite having a set of rudimentary teeth, axolotls don’t use them when feeding, they only use it to snap down on their food, rather than chew food. But if you’re away for longer, make sure you have someone who will feed them every other day or so. Can Axolotls Eat Fish Food? You should always remove leftovers because as soon as they start breaking down or rotting, they can cause ammonia spikes that are dangerous for the health of your axies.Fonte de ingredientes com cuidado: Escolha ingredientes de alta qualidade de fontes confiáveis. Evite usar ingredientes que possam conter aditivos nocivos ou contaminantes. Substrate: Slate, untreated tile, or very fine-grained sand can be used as a substrate. Two of the safest sands on the market are CaribSea Super Naturals Moonlight Sand (white or sunset gold) and Exo Terra Riverbed Sand, due to their grain size of less than 1 mm diameter. Some pool filter sand brands will work if they are fine-grained enough to not see individual grains. Note: Only axolotls 15 cm (6 inches) or larger can be safely housed on sand, due to impaction risk. Axolotl food pellets are designed to provide a complete and balanced diet for these unique amphibians. They are formulated to mimic the nutritional content of their natural prey and are enriched with essential vitamins and minerals. These pellets are typically high in protein, which is crucial for the growth and development of axolotls.
