Earthworms are a superb complete food. And they are bound to love them.
Since variety is the key for good nutrition, you can also try waxworms, slugs, crickets, and even daphnia, gammarus, or very randomly(never abusing) small fish.
If you complete this with frozen bloodworms or live blackworms(even pellets), your newts will be very happy.

Welcome, Brian. Please note that the forum rules require the use of punctuation and some approximation of English grammar and spelling.

It doesn't matter what time of day you feed them. This article might be helpful:

    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?
