JBL ProNovo Lotl Grano S is a granulated staple food for small axolotls from 3-10 cm length. Axolotl are amphibians, like newts and frogs. Unlike other amphibians they remain in their larval stage with external feathery gills their whole life. Axolotl originally come from a lake in Mexico which is situated high up and has therefore low temperatures at about 20C. Nowadays Mexico City has expanded so much that the lake is located within the city and can hardly sustain wildlife due to rubbish tipping and other contamination. As a result axolotl is considered extinct in its original habitat. Axolotls find their food olfactorily, i.e. through their sense of smell and with the help of mechanoreceptors which, like the lateral line organ of fish, perceive flow and vibration stimuli. Live food and interesting smelling food such as JBL ProNovo Lotl Grano S is therefore ideal for a species-appropriate diet. In nature they lie in wait for their prey and eat crustaceans, insect larvae, small fish
