Rick, Dr. Schultz and Lee talk All about Axolotls

If it was a plan to intrigue us, it was brilliant!! Last week, Rick Preuss from Preuss Pets wore a shirt which featured Axolotls. Both Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen began asking Rick questions until we had to start recording that show, but the topic did come up in our initial segment. It was a tease. Listen Saturday at 9AM and Rick Preuss will tell the whole story about Axolotl's as pets and how to care and maintain them. Learn about their unusual look and why they are different from Salamanders. You'll also hear about their ability to regrow damaged body parts and how they can adapt to utilize parts from another Axolotl. Learn about where they came from and why they require cooler water then most other fish to survive. What to feed them, how long they live, who they can live with are all on the agenda. We wanted to add Starfish and Seahorses to the conversation but we ran out of time. Learn why the video game Minecraft features Axolotls and why they have become such popular animals in the culture. You can see them at Preuss Pets after you hear about them on this weekend's edition of the Mid Michigan Pet Expert Talk Show on 1320 AM WILS on the radio
