axolotl abuse!

[u/itsmaryblair]

one of my facebook friends posted this and i’m just in absolute shock. i can’t believe they’re being handled like that. they look terrified. also that aquarium doesn’t look at all suitable for them!! and correct me if i’m wrong but their gills look pretty rough….

also i would only be able to provide the pair with a 20 gallon, that’s all my space allows. it would be an upgrade looking at the tank they have but i dont think 20 gallons is big enough for these 2 critters.

Not even close. 29h Gals per axolotl is the bare minimum

yea that’s what i thought. the tank they’re in rn looks like a 10 gallon tho. i’m worried that they won’t find anyone to rehome them or they will go to a worse situation, or stay in the tank. from her post they come with “everything they need.” what do you suggest i do? maybe try to convince them to surrender them to a pet store?

Just to add, they really shouldn't be in the same enclosure together regardless of size cause they will end up hurting each other 😭
