I have a few eggs that hatched a few days ago - have been trying to feed them baby brine shrimp, but they do not appear to be feeding.

It has been 5 days since they have hatched - should I be concerned? :confused:

Thanks!
 
Well, they may not have used up all of their yolk sack yet. So give it another day or two and then see if they eat.
 
Thanks - it turns out they appeared to start eating just yesterday, about 5 days after hatching.

It looks like the Northwestern ones might start eating later after hatching than other typical breeds.

    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?
