Feeding

I have two fire bellies, and whenever I feed them, one of them always hogs the food. I was wondering if it would harm the other one at all if I fed him with tweezers. I was just worried he might hurt himself on the metal or something. Thanks!

there is a product from zoomed called feeding tongs, they do the same job as tweezers but are plastic. Hope that helps :\

i feed my orientalis with tweezers all the time with no injuries so far. They have bitten the tweezers before but they don't bite hard enough to do any damage

    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?
