Earthworms

Monkee and Lemon are like three coming up four months old and they are eating bit fat earthworms whole already. I started with them this week and chopped them up into small bits then started to increase the size to see what they could manage. In the end, I just threw in a couple of massive ones and they gulped them down without any problem at all.

Just wondering if this is okay and would like some feedback!
 
If they start spitting them up or you find regurgitated worm - that should be your answer!
 
Thanks!

No regurgitation, no spitting up.

How many adult earthworms should I be feeding them a day? They have the most *humungous* appetite but I do not want to overfeed them and let them get morbidly obese... On asking that question, however, I'm just happy that they're eating!

One full earthworm per day should be plenty. My adult axies get far less than that, more like half an earthworm every 3 days.

    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?
