Axolotl not pooping?

I recently switched my axies over to an earthworm diet, I feed my juvies 2/3 of an inch and my 2 sub adult axies (8") whole chopped up earthworm every two days. I have the sub adults (Wild and Albino) in separate tanks with basically the same setup and I've noticed that my Male wild hasn't pooped in a week or so, on the other hand my female Albino has been pooping every other day. I'm thinking of fridging him but I wanna hear what you guys think, Is this normal? He eats very voraciously still and is very active often swimming around like he always does.

Thank you!

Depends on temps too. Cooler water means slower digestion. I was also told that when fed worms, they poop once a week or so. Seems true with my dude. I get 1 poop every 1 to 2 weeks.

I feed my girl night crawlers and she seems to poop about once a week. If nothing else seems wrong with him, I wouldn't worry.

    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?
