Can you provide photos of the 'white goo' or elaborate on it?

Overfeeding can cause obesity and liver problems long term and constipation or pancreatic problems short time. They rarely cause any fatal acute illness though.

I would recommend you fridge your axie just to help soothe its tummy a bit.

    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?
