If you didn’t read my last post, it was about my rescue axolotl Trooper and his recovery. This blog will just be more detailed about what his recovery looked like. Within weeks of being on his own, the first thing to grow back was his reproductive organs aka his balls. Funny, how that\u2019s the first thing to grow back, and the fastest at that. It looked kinda awkward though because he was still short and stubby. I guess that’s why the second thing to grow was his length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trooper started to grow longer, then wider (he\u2019s almost at full length now). I think it\u2019s because Trooper knew he didn’t have enough room for everything else inside his little body. After that, his limbs and gills began to grow back. It took almost a whole year for his gills to become pink and fluffy again and even longer for his limbs. His limbs still haven’t fully grown back. I believe this is because his body is putting energy towards more important things (they only use their feet for gripping). Finally, his head got bigger to match his new body size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trooper\u2019s head also began to get bigger to match his growing body. He started to become more hungry, and I was so happy when he swam up to collect his food for the first time (usually I bring it to him). I remember the day he was able to swim gracefully for the first time without a struggle, you could see the smile on his face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s come so far. I no longer have to cut worms because they\u2019re too big. Trooper even accidentally attacked a fake plant because he missed the worm I was trying to feed him. I spent the next five minutes trying to pry the plant out of his mouth while he tugged. Before, he would hardly even lunge for food. His last owner said, \u201che didn\u2019t like to eat\u201d pfft I\u2019ve never had any issues (besides maybe once or twice). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
