Triturus pygmaeus/marmoratus

My recently arrived ones arent eating, I've offered them pieces of earthworms and frozen bloodworms. They are about 5cm long and thin, they were transported for 7 days so I supposed they would be pretty hungry. They are cb and look to be in good shape otherwise, pretty alert and rather active. They arrived two days ago now.

I have been trying to find small live food around here but there only crickets and earthworms to be found. I am currently trying to find drosophila but they are difficult to find fast.

Any ideas? Should I just wait? How long can these young juveniles last without food?

Jesper ive heard that gut-loaded pin-head crickets,chopped earthworm,frozen bloodworm and fruit flies are a good source of food for raising juveniles.

The smallest crickets are too big as I said. I have already tried with chopped earthworms and frozen bloodworms see above. Drosophila melanogaster = fruitflies.
But thanks anyway

    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?
