Goals & Values
We want to share the wonders of axolotls with the entire world, and provide aspiring axolotl owners with everything they need to raise their own!
We have found that it can be extremely difficult to find good information about caring for exotic pets, including axolotls. Unfortunately, many people make decisions about exotic pet ownership with unclear or incomplete information about what it takes to raise one of these unique animals.
The team of animal experts, breeders, and scientists at Axolotl Planet is here to change that.
We believe that axolotls can be beloved household companions for millions of people around the world, but aspiring owners must educate themselves about the responsibilities of owning them. After all, we want every animal we sell to end up in a loving home and to enjoy the best quality of life possible.
When you decide to raise an exotic animal, you must be familiar with the best ways to care for your pet before you buy it. The same goes for axolotls, which is why we recommend that you have a cycled aquarium prepared for your new axolotl before you buy it.

Looking to the Future
We dream of restoring the wild axolotl population to its former glory.
Unfortunately, due to extreme habitat destruction and pollution in recent decades, the axolotl species has been classified as critically endangered by the IUCN Red List.
A study performed at the National Autonomous University of Mexico estimated that only about seven hundred to twelve hundred axolotls remain in the wild. This means that Axolotl Planet currently maintains three times as many axolotls as the entire wild population. Our dream is to fund the restoration of the axolotl's natural habitat, Lake Xochimilco, in the valley of Mexico.
