hi

i'm from holland and i hope you people understand what i'm telling because my english is not that good.

my firebelly's had parasites.
i gave them treatment and now the parasites are gone.
but one of them still doesn't want to eat
he/she is verry verry skinny...more like a walking skeleton.
today i found out that he was to weak to swim to the surface to get some food so i put him in a small aquarium with only 5 cm of water and a lot of food.
but still i have little hope he just doesn't look interested.
does anybody els know what to do?
maybe forsfeed?
 
I'd take it to a herp vet for a tube feeding if you decide to have it force-fed, rather than try to do it myself without the necessary experience. The only other thing I would suggest is to try live food if it hasn't been eating non-live food. Good luck!

    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?
