I have tried to find this somewhere because I’m sure someone has asked this before, but the search terms are just too general I guess. I want to feed my new melanoid gfp axolotl cut up earthworms because it’s just so much easier and less messy than feeding bloodworms (and the dog ate the pellets that were sent with the axolotl). Is there a good way to store the worm after I cut it up? Can I freeze it or should it be kept in the fridge? What’s the best option?
Thanks!
 
Cut off a piece of worm, put the rest of the worm back in the soil container you presumably are housing the worms in, and either store the container in a cool dark place (or the refrigerator). Sometimes the rest of the worm will die, sometimes it will live, depends on how much you cut off. I typically use all the worm in one sitting though, but if your critter is too small for that then try to keep the rest of the worm alive.

That’s what I ended up doing last night. Just didn’t know if there was a way I could just cut one up and store it so I’m not risking it dying before I can use it. Would still rather do that than mess with bloodworms though.

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
