Very informational!
We submitted photos for this book originally from a Facebook post we saw needing photos from in home care for axolotls. When we got selected for the photos they did send us a free copy so I didn’t purchase, but what I can say is when we read through it, it’s accurate to everything you need to know! Our Miss Pudding is a star in it, yes! 🤩 I know the photos are on the obesity section, but she is not. 🤣 This is a great read for someone that wants to start and own such a good in home endangered wildlife species! Worth the buy even if I didn’t pay for it initially.

Great information!
This book has a lot of helpful information about axolotls. I always see people online say so many different things about how to care for them, water parameters, environment, set up, feeding, and everything in between. I have a very healthy axolotl named Kiwi (whose pictures are featured in the book) and she is this way because I have done everything that is in the book regarding her care. So I can confidently stand by the information in this book

Great and informative book! Full disclosure: our picture was chosen to be displayed in the book and so we were sent a free one as a gift but honestly – what a fun, colorful and informative book! It’s easy to read and the photos are bright and cute. We got our axie in January and it’s been so helpful to refer to different information and concerns as for as Kelpie goes.
