I fed my group of T marms superworms which they each eagerly up to 2 worms a pc on Sunday of the small size. I thought the superworms were actually something different. When I researched them I realized I made a big mistake. Anyways my T marms are 5''-7'' long. When I went to feed them earthworms yesterday they wouldn't touch them. My T marms are usually very aggressive and active eaters. I am guessing they are impacted? IS there anything I can do for them or did I possibly condemn them?

Feeding them superworms once is hardly a risk of impaction...
They probably are full an so refuse to eat more for now....quite normal.
If the problem persist for more than two days then you can suposse something might be wrong.

I agree - they may just be full and not yet interested in food. Give them a few more days and try again. If they are impacted, I don't know of anything you can do.

    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?
