Default Lissotriton vulgaris morphing

I have at least a couple L. vulgaris ampelensis that are morphing now and I've heard two different ways of raising them. I've read/heard that they have to be given a terrestrial set up to live in and fed on suitably small prey like springtails, Drosophila melanogaster, and pinhead crickets. The other approach is I guess to simply keep them aquatic and continue to feed them things like chopped blackworms, whiteworms, etc. If they are to be kept terrestrially - ie. if that's really the best most appropriate way to raise them, how long should they be kept in a terrestrial setup before being returned to a totally aquatic setup?
