I will be getting axie eggs from a member in this forum. I have heaps of mosquito lave to feed them but the summer causes heaps of ants to come out. I was wondering if they could be fed to the baby axies?. They are small enough for them and they wiggle around in water so it will attract them. What do you guys think?
 
It's unlikely to work, in my opinion. Most newts and sals won't eat ants. It's probably a "taste" issue, as ants often contain formic acid as a defense. Also, the ants would likely float, and baby axies are not good at finding food on the surface of the water, it has to sink. You're welcome to try it, though, and tell us what happens.
 
ill give it a go. It poped into my head as i was squishing the ones comming inside the house.
 
i tryed a few with buttercup and daddyette(lol) and they ate them no problems.

    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?
