Hi Uncle Ben. If you havn't already, you should get your axolotls a tank chiller since they need 65-68F temp water. You also might notice some limbs getting eaten if all 4 stay together. They'll need their own 20g long tanks eventually when you upgrade them next. Best of luck with the new swarm of Lotls!
Thanks for this comment! As I myself am an owner of axolotls, I wanted to add here some more well-intentioned advice, so that your axolotls can feel even more comfortable: - The water temperature of the aquarium should be below 20°C (68°F). Anything above this can stress the animals. That's why most people use a chiller for the aquarium. (This is already mentioned) - The substrate should consist of small rounded pebbles. Anything sharp-edged (even sand) can cause problems. The reason for this is that axolotls are not very precise when eating and often suck up the substrate (like a vacuum cleaner). This can result in the pebbles getting lodged in their stomachs and not being excreted. - Axolotls can easily injure themselves on sharp-edged stones. - Red gill branches are a clear sign of stress in the animals. - With axolotls, if it's edible and smaller than themselves, they will eat it. So, if the axolotls are of similar size, there shouldn't be any issues. However, if you want offspring, you need to consider this. You can also find this information online on topics related to the care of axolotls.
Yes and the rocks are too small i think and they could accidentally eat em up so i suggest getting smooth sand or just have no flooring in The aquarium👀😳

Hey Uncle Ben you might want to change out the axolotls' substrate with either sand, a bare bottom, or stones that are bigger than their head. With the smaller gravel they are at risk of sucking in substrate when they eat which could cause blockages and lead to them dying.
Other commenters seem to have done a good job of giving advice for your new axolotls but I wanted to just add things for the general viewer :) Axolotls are a type of mole salamander that, like Ben said, don’t ever lose their juvenile features and stay 100% aquatic their whole lives other than in the rare circumstance that they morph. In that situation, their body produced a bit too much of a certain hormone which triggered them to lose those iconic juvenile features. Pretty neat, it can be quite dangerous and stressful however. Luckily though its pretty rare and its not likely for it to happen if you get an axolotl. They require colder temperatures at about 60-63 degrees Fahrenheit (thats where I keep my boys) and to house 2 axolotls together you need at least a 75g tank. If Ben is not keeping all 4 of these axolotls here then this setup should be fine temporally, however it would eventually need to be upgraded. They also require very fine sand if you opt to use a substrate, gravel or pebbles like shown here are very dangerous to use with them. Won’t go into depth with that though since other viewers already have! This is a very common mistake for new keepers to make. Axolotls do tend to bite off each others limbs, however this is most common when young axolotls, mainly babies, are kept together, or there is a significant size difference between the axolotls housed together. Beware of that, however these girls look about the same size and age so hopefully you won’t have an issue with that. Speaking of them being girls, keep a close eye on that cloaca region behind their back legs. Axolotls can be pretty tricky to sex sometimes, and it can take up to 18 months to truly determine if an axolotl is male or female. Females will have a normal, pretty flat cloaca region that doesn’t stand out at all, whereas a male’s cloaca will become enlarged and round, very very obvious. I’ve seen so many stories of people believing their axolotl was female and then BAM, balls appeared seemingly out of the blue. Females are also normally much rounder then males so thats another thing to look for! Also, do not touch your axolotls unless there is a very important reason to, like a medical emergency, separating them in case of aggression, etc. My first axolotl, Axle (yes ik, very creative name choice) developed a severe fungal infection when I first got him and I needed to regularly handle him to give him his medicine baths since touching my skin was much less rough then a net. Luckily he did survive and hes doing great now, currently waiting for him and my other axolotl, Wooper’s, big upgrade :) But back to handling, picking up an axolotl can scrape off their slime coat which is extremely important for their immune system and keeping them nice and healthy. A peeled slime coat is always a cause for concern so always keep an eye on that too! Common causes of peeling can be stress or illness. Wooper turned out to be a female which I wasn’t expecting and naively removed the divider in their tank. (I still use he/him pronouns for Wooper) He became stressed within a few hours despite everything seeming peaceful and fine and it was most likely due to Axle getting a little too excited surrounding, yk, a girl being there. His slime coat began to peel and thats how I knew. Bad sign. So him and Axle will be getting their own tanks hopefully within the coming weeks and the divider is currently still separating them. Theres your axolotl info from me, good luck with your little fellas!
Yeah didn't realize my axolotls were different sexes until one of them laid 400 eggs one day. Luckily that was during Covid so I had time to be a axoltol grandpa and hatched a total of 200, kept 3 of the babies and sold the rest, so now I just have 5 20 gallons in my basement lol
@@wakilnerd yeah a lot of animals lay a fuck ton of eggs because most of them won’t make it, around 100 of the eggs didn’t hatch at all and only about 200 made it to the juvenile state where we could sell them
Hey uncle Ben, axolotls should not be in a tank with gravel because they are cringe and will eat it and die. I recommend using tiles on the bottom of the tank so they don't eat rocks and die. Also sand can work as well but they also might eat it. Also you might want to turn down the air flow so they don't float away.
i don't know if anyone's said this yet but be careful with the gravel that's in the axolotl tank, i've heard stories of peoples axos accidentally eating the pebbles and it causes health problems and can sometimes also lead to them dying so just be careful!
@@carsonhawley8838 The aluminum itself isn't the issue, however aluminum oxidizes very fast compared to other metals when submerged in water, and the oxide that results from that reaction is very toxic to fish and I assume axolotls too.
Havent seen any comments about it. But axolotls use suction feeding and when theyre sucking on their food they can also suck in gravel into their mouths and choke. Very large rocks or very very fine sand works for them as either it doesnt get scuck in them or it is too big to go through them as it cant get in their mouths.
Ben just casually putting molten aluminium from whistling diesels burned ferrari in the axolotl tank cracked me the hell up for some reason. Like, it's so absurd and yet so beautiful.
All jokes aside, it never ceases to amaze me how careless builders can be. We have some next door that throw their garbage in our driveway, so we just throw it straight back.

I'm a huge fan of the channel but i gotta be that guy and say: I'm really happy you got axolotls! I've had many and bred some. They're great! I'm a little worried about seeing your guys eating pellets on a gravel substrate. Gravel can be really dangerous bc axies feed by sucking in water, so it's very easy for them to swallow pebbles. If this happens, it can cause a blockage and kill them ;_; Sand is a good substrate (like a 50 pound bag of home Depot play sand. Super cheap, great substrate that'll last a long time. Just rinse it properly before using it) And if your cool little guys can eat earthworms, I'd switch to that asap. If you want to feed them pellets or feed them on the ground if the tank, feeding dishes can be really helpful! I always preferred hand feeding by dangling a worm above them so they raise up in the water, away from the sand, when they eat. Ok that's all, sorry to be that guy! You do an amazing job with animal rescue, thanks for sharing it with us here!
Once my boy was big enough I fed him almost exclusively nightcrawlers. He ate blood worms while he was a little and growing. Lots of people fed blackworms. My axie ate some red worms when I didn't have anything else, but they didn't really agree with him, however I know people whose axies do well on that. They can also have beef heart as a treat. I personally don't really like pellet food for axolotls, however I know many people who have successfully had very happy and healthy lotls with pellets! Just wanted to put my two cents out there on another good post with good information in hopes Ben will see it.

Hey uncle ben just a tip for axolotls, they need sand flooring or flat rocks because they can eat the gravel and it will cause problems with their intestines and sometimes a blockage leading to death. The sand allows them to eat it without worrying about it because of how small it is
Hello uncle Ben I’m a student at Baylor and just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and posts. When I first came to school here last year I had just begun watching your content. One day I saw a video where you were at McClane stadium. I had a rough freshman year but you made it easier with your videos that I could watch while I ate alone. This year is much better but I just want to thank you for being a consistent source of joy for my college career both during my hard times and during my good times.
I really enjoy your videos and the sincere concern you show to the animals and the extra bonus is, your a funny guy. Please don't let any jealous or envious people put you down as I think some might because your doing something valuable with your life rather than just thinking exclusively how to please yourself and have fun. Your joy, it seems is in helping animals that need help and love.

The progress Uncle Ben has made these last couple of years is really, really impressive and I am truly inspired by him. Last time I watched one of his view was when he first moved to his current ranch. He seemed so stressed and tired, and was consistently putting in hours of manual labour in order to make the land safe for his animals. Now he and his animals are flourishing, they all (including uncle Ben) look very healthy, calm and happy an it's so amazing to see. Crazy to see how far he's come and how hard he's worked. You're amazing Uncle Ben!
Hey Uncle Ben, I could be wrong but it looks like you may have pebbles in your Axolotl habitat and they could actually choke on those. I could be wrong, maybe those aren’t pebbles, but I’m just making sure.
@@TheUrbanRescueRanchBen, you have opened yourself up to an absolute tirade of well meaning axolotl enthusiasts with myriad conflicting views on how to care for them. I don't envy you at all for this. Please remember that all of them, even the ones who've never seen an axolotl in person and are repeating what the internet has told them, genuinely do want what's best for the salamanders. With that said, the science would seem to indicate that gastroliths in axolotls are more accidental than functional. They can be safely passed quite reliably in adults so long as the pieces are smooth and roughly 3mm across.

I love your channel and your love of Da Babies. You are one great young man. Thank you for your kindness and all that you do. You always put a smile on my face and I laugh.
i know people have addressed many of the lotl concerns (i have an 8 yr old axi, everyone nailed it and its a learning process for first time owners!!) their gills are looking nice and fluffy but the curling at the tips can be a sign of poor water, stress, etc(really common when establishing a cycle). all my love
Hey Uncle Ben so Axolotls are usually kept separate cuz they are solitary, they get aggressive when there are more than 1 per tank and if they get too stressed, they turn into salamanders.
6:32 Hey that's my name! Also, I would keep a close eye on those axolotls, Uncle Ben. They aren't known to be good for cohabitating and can absolutely become cannibalistic even if the tank is spacious. Would just recommend checking their gills and limbs regularly for evidence of fighting and maybe lowering the number of occupants if you notice anything.
Uncle Ben your property is coming out like a chefs kiss. The lighting outback at night is going to make some very nice photos when everything is said and done. Much love and respect.

11:09 - Thank You Uncle Ben.... A Big Oz woo-hoo always cures my depression. ❤😁
"Whistlin Dingleberry" Thanks uncle Ben I needed to smile today :)
Master Oogway as he watches his wife run away- "That's okay! She'll be back! Another Quaalude, she'll love me in the morning!"
I hope all your animals can live long & prosperous lifes at your Urban Rescue Ranch Uncle Ben, & don't forget to take care of yourself & Tank.
Rest in Peace Big Ounce🫶🏼🕊️🕊️
The ranch is getting cooler and cooler every episode 😊!!
Hey uncle ben just a tip for axolotls, they need sand flooring or flat rocks because they can eat the gravel and it will cause problems with their intestines and sometimes a blockage leading to death. The sand allows them to eat it without worrying about it because of how small it is
Hello uncle Ben I’m a student at Baylor and just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and posts. When I first came to school here last year I had just begun watching your content. One day I saw a video where you were at McClane stadium. I had a rough freshman year but you made it easier with your videos that I could watch while I ate alone. This year is much better but I just want to thank you for being a consistent source of joy for my college career both during my hard times and during my good times.
I really enjoy your videos and the sincere concern you show to the animals and the extra bonus is, your a funny guy. Please don't let any jealous or envious people put you down as I think some might because your doing something valuable with your life rather than just thinking exclusively how to please yourself and have fun. Your joy, it seems is in helping animals that need help and love.
P.S. and yes your hair does look nice Samson.
I just realized that Master Oogway, as a African spurred tortoise, will probably out-live Uncle Ben :I
Hey uncle ben ❤ theres a camera setting called stereo audio that makes the audio go quiet when you zoom in. You can turn it off in the settings app. Love ya!
These videos always brighten my day! Glad to see the gang’s all doing well
Have you ever told a lie, stolen, lusted, or used the Lord's name in vain?
If you said yes..........
You now have a knowledge of sin. Without this knowledge no person could understand the love of Christ.
If the God of the Bible is real and a just judge, would you be punished? Yes.
You can escape this if you put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

@@fred5107what ??
@@fred5107 Shut up. Your reply has nothing to do with this comment or the video.
Uncle Ben I know you won’t read this but what a treat for me that here’s a vid I’ve missed of yours! I love ya I appreciate ya. I think your amazing. I’m still sad about Big Ounce! But your an amazing man ❤
So brave of that a axolotl to sacrifice itself to our hero Big Ounce so he can continue construction on the ranch! How noble! Surely many here will cherish this moment!
I genuinely think im in love with this man
11:50 MASTER OUGWAY IS DOING ITTTT
I too had myself a whistlin dingleberry today after my morning coffee
If the croc is named Gustavo, the caiman should be named Lalo
Thank you Big Ounce for bringing these beautiful creatures to the ranch
2:26 Imagine being that little kid and seeing a man wearing a shirt that says “full armor of God” beg for forgiveness from an anthropomorphized beaver.
🦫 🙏 🧎🏽🧎🏻♀️🧎🏽🧎🏻♀️
it is incredible the character arc twist that we've been seeing in Kevin
Our Garbanzo Beans has become a happy little talking guy.
id switch out that gravel for sand in the axolotls enclosure, larger pebbles are pretty high risk for impaction with them
I love Garbonzo Beans. He’s the goodest duck boy.
Yo uncle Ben great meeting you at the lunch brunch! Loved it!
Adorable how you take care of literally all the animals you meet 🥰 Thanks for sharing!
lmao now that Kevin is subdued by muscle mommy Uncle Ben said to himself "well I guess i have to find another Kevin" and found him in alligator form
Turtle clappin cheeks at the end 😂
No way a contractor left a brown present on your property...
WE LOVE NATURE FINDING ITS WAY! THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US EVERYDAY!!
Everything has been piecing together fantastically. May god bless you and keep going strong. 🙏🏽
That turtle... he be running up on that real quick... for a turtle.
thank you Big Ounce for always giving us such sage advice. We appreciate every "YAHOO" you bless us with.
The progress Uncle Ben has made these last couple of years is really, really impressive and I am truly inspired by him. Last time I watched one of his view was when he first moved to his current ranch. He seemed so stressed and tired, and was consistently putting in hours of manual labour in order to make the land safe for his animals. Now he and his animals are flourishing, they all (including uncle Ben) look very healthy, calm and happy an it's so amazing to see. Crazy to see how far he's come and how hard he's worked. You're amazing Uncle Ben!
i remember when he first moved how there was nothing am really happy how it turned out have a great one uncle ben
Hey Uncle Ben, I could be wrong but it looks like you may have pebbles in your Axolotl habitat and they could actually choke on those. I could be wrong, maybe those aren’t pebbles, but I’m just making sure.
I’ve read that some pebbles are important for their digestion! Asking around now tho 👍
@@TheUrbanRescueRanchthe risk is way more than it benefits,
@@TheUrbanRescueRanchBen, you have opened yourself up to an absolute tirade of well meaning axolotl enthusiasts with myriad conflicting views on how to care for them. I don't envy you at all for this. Please remember that all of them, even the ones who've never seen an axolotl in person and are repeating what the internet has told them, genuinely do want what's best for the salamanders.
With that said, the science would seem to indicate that gastroliths in axolotls are more accidental than functional. They can be safely passed quite reliably in adults so long as the pieces are smooth and roughly 3mm across.
We must protect Garbanzo Beans at all costs! Ben needs a soft cuddly something! RIP. Biggerton Ounce! ❤❤❤
8:08 dude really looks like he's saying "ew don't touch me"
Like to get saved by Big Ounce.
He will pray for your well-being just the way we did for him, when he had that tumor
Never

Love seeing the transformation of the place keep up the great works the world needs more positivity like this. Not to far away from you're rescue would love to volunteer!!!
I died when uncle ben ran out to watch master ugway. This channel always puts a smile on my face ❤
I love your channel and your love of Da Babies. You are one great young man. Thank you for your kindness and all that you do. You always put a smile on my face and I laugh.
Big ounce is immortal HE SURVIVED THE GRIMACE SHAKE, ROBBED A WALMART,BEING CRINGE AND SO ON
I love how you used the Ferraris melted metal lolol
I love his updates. They always make me so happy. I would totally buy a big ounce plushie
I am so glad you saved that parking lot bird.
i know people have addressed many of the lotl concerns (i have an 8 yr old axi, everyone nailed it and its a learning process for first time owners!!)
their gills are looking nice and fluffy but the curling at the tips can be a sign of poor water, stress, etc(really common when establishing a cycle). all my love
Thanks Mr. Big Wounce and Uncle Ben for providing me with all this enrichment.
uncle ben can i hug gort pls
Your first
First
Good job
First good job my man
Crazy how much the rescue ranch has grown with your hard work
Hey Uncle Ben so Axolotls are usually kept separate cuz they are solitary, they get aggressive when there are more than 1 per tank and if they get too stressed, they turn into salamanders.
They are salamanders 😆
They just morph into a not fully aquatic form
@@Frogboyaidan yeah that's what I mean.
their gills regress and they change into a fully terrestrial salamander.
Your humor cracks me up🤣🤣🤣. “I fed the bird” “I SAVED THIS BIRD” 😂😂
6:32 Hey that's my name!
Also, I would keep a close eye on those axolotls, Uncle Ben. They aren't known to be good for cohabitating and can absolutely become cannibalistic even if the tank is spacious. Would just recommend checking their gills and limbs regularly for evidence of fighting and maybe lowering the number of occupants if you notice anything.
What an adorable little squirrel. Da Baby is getting so big.
Always love it when my favorite uncle farmer dad posts
Uncle Ben your property is coming out like a chefs kiss. The lighting outback at night is going to make some very nice photos when everything is said and done. Much love and respect.
Go Master Ogway! Babies!😊😊😊 Ben went from wiping a squirrel's butt to a brunch!😮😮😮 No Kevin attack? Cringe!😅😅😅 The place looks amazing! Great job Big Ounce! ❤❤❤
Master Ouguaie gettin that Tussy 👌

The injured hawk actually just being a chicken sent me 💀💀
Where?
Axolotl and baby Squirrel, too cute
the molten ferrari caves in the axolotl tank is top form and high class. I'm glad big ounce took the time to dig them up all by himself and put them in there. I knew he was a decorated war-hero but it looks like he's also a war-hero decorator lol
NOICE
Your ranch is growing and growing, my god. Despite all the Work (or maybe because of it) you seem so happy with your life. It is delightfull to watch your videos! Makes you question life choices.
Master Oogway is DOING IT... ooor he's trying, at least.
Thank you big ounce that was very educational
12:09 Master Oogway is really trying haha
“WOW! MR OOOOHGWAY’S DOING IT” 🐢 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know it’s a good day when Ben posts
Who knew that all it would take to make Kevin's burning rage and aggression die down were a couple of muscle mommies. Uncle Ben is healing
Kevin is just pretending he'll go back to being evil soon.
I think uncle Ben should be the new patron saint for rescued animals. Don't know how that works. But Him and big ounce definitely deserve the title.
Can we see Kevin soon? I feel like he escaped to cause crime and forced another to take his place because i havent recognized his face when youve panned over alll of them 😂 he has a very distinct face
Kevin looks even cuter now that he's calm!🥰
Your clips at the start of your videos feels like a fever dream
take that back your whole video feels like a fever dream
I love you Uncle Ben! Thank you for another incredible. episode! You've been doing a great work!
