I currently have two baby axolotls with just there front limbs grown in. They are feeding on brine shrimp right now, but when they grow out of the brine shrimp what should I feed them? (after brine shrimp, before pellets) Whiteworms, Grindle worms ect.

Thanks

If you are feeding baby brine, you can go with adult brine and whiteworms, live black worms, and then try frozen blood worms to intice them to pellets. That regemin works for me.

Daphnia to live bloodworm, then frozen then to other insects/pellets is always my goal. It's a good idea to introduce new food slowly; mix it with what they're used to eating.

    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?
