I have the most retarded tiger salamander in the world. He is afraid of crickets! Every time I put a cricket in his cage he runs away from it!
 
The poor thing must be terribly stressed. Provide it with adequate husbandry, and make sure he is cool and in a shady area. Don´t disturb it....it should eventually calm down and focus on eating.
 
Does he eventually end up eating them? I have one Tiger that only eats crickets, if I put anything else in front of him (earthworms, mealworms, waxworms) he turns his head away. My other Tiger will eat anything I put in front of him, and he is the smaller one!

I hope your Tiger likes other food if he is afraid of crickets :)

    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?
