One of the students this year has axolotls (and sheep, but that's beside the point) and brought one of the 6-month ladies in for show-and-tell intros today, and he's letting me babysit the bab

Gasp!!

Oh look how cute she is!

Obviously, she's an albino baby. Apparently she can eat a half-inch of worm, and has stolen two legs from siblings before getting separated out, which is also mildly hilarious.

lfke omg

stolen legs

beebin no

I mean, good news - the siblings' limbs are starting to regrow, so it's okay, but also /vicious/ baby

oh good wow

she H U N G E R S

She's hanging out on my desk and I love her

heck yeah!

How often do axolotls get fed?

Apparently at this age, once per day

A whole half inch of worm a day

bless

As with all living creatures, though, she has eyes bigger than her stomach, so she'll try to eat more than that but literally doesn't have space, so it just pops back out???

LKSJELKJR

Pear, I love her

She bit the student when he was putting her in the bottle this morning, which APPARENTLY feels just like being bitten by a frog, but I LOVE that

PFF

It seems fairly unlikely to hurt unless they get it just right

Yeah, I mean, it's not really TEETH, just, like, a cartilage ridge, I think, but either way, it makes me laugh that she's just like, "no, absolutely not, thank you."

She has Opinions and it's fantastic

Anyway.... >.> that's my day....

Enjoy ~

Every now and then I look over and

XD What a cute
