Hi Kylie,

I used to feed my axie worms out of my garden, but only because I was 100% sure that no chemicals were present in the soil.

Now I buy them from a fish bait shop - they are really cheap and are bred specifically as food for fish.

I keep mine in a large tub in a cool, dark place. The soil is slightly damp. I feed them old vegatables/fruit and put crushed up eggshell in the soil also as this increases their calcium content so they are more nutritious for my axie.

To prepare a worm I simply wash any dirt off it and drop it into the tank. If the worm is ridiculously large I cut it to make it easier for Elsa to swallow, but she is a full grown female so this doesn't happen very often.

Hope that helps

    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?
