It is best to use pea sized gravel or sand. This is safe for them to eat as it will pass through them easier than gravel which can get stuck in their digestive system.

How does the Mexican axolotl obtain nutrients?

Once every few days, though naturally a bottom feeder an axie should be taught to hand-feed as this can prevent swallowing of gravel (though you should really makes sure it can't fit in his mouth anyway) and it should be cut into cubes less than a centimetre. He eats quickly and once he grips hold of his dinner, he won't let go! He swallows his food whole so should not be fed anything bigger than his mouth.

What are some patterns of behavior for Mexican walking fish?

The axolotl is carnivore which eats small prays like worms or insects. The axolotl's body can grow up to 30 cm. The axolotl can regenerate, for example, if a limb is lost it can grow back in 8 weeks. The axolotl contains poison glands, so any predator must think twice on eating this little salamander.The axolotl has a weird social behavior. Some domestic axolotls that live in groups often eat each other or eat the other axolotl's egg, so it's preferable to house them individually. The axolotl is nearing extinction. The axolotl mainly was native from Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco, but, unfortunately, these lakes have already disappeared or diminished, and most of these species are kept in hatcherys.
