Feeding Morphs

My morphs of CO have morphed for 1/2 year. I have been feeding them every other day until they are stuffed. I dont know if this is enough or too much. Am I feeding too frequent? Cause I want some more break in between. Hand Feeding 50 morphs used a lot of my time.
Thanks

Probably backing off to once every 2 days wouldn't be too bad for them. At this age, I'm betting you could convince them to become semiaquatic which might make feeding easier.

You could also cut up earthworms and leave the pieces in the tank. Springtails/fruitflies are great also so maybe try culturing those...they wouldn't need you to hand feed.

Yea. I used springtails as well. but too much morphs that require too big a culture.

I never try just to put chopped earthworm i the tank. cause I thought the worm will have no movement to attract the morphs. Will that work?

    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?
