Hi
We are feeding our 2 axies candaian nightcrawlers and they are really liking it (took awhile) but my question is, the worms produce a lot of slim when we cut them. Is this harmful? Im guessing not since it is part of the worm, but just want to make sure.

Thanks :happy:

No, completely normal and not harmful at all.
 
I blanch the worm in really hot sink water for a few seconds until they stop moving and the slime coat comes off. It makes it easier to feed them and cut them.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    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?
