Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering if you can tell me if it is safe to feed newts frozen bloodworms that have thawed and have been re-frozen?


Thanks for your help always!

I wouldn't. :eek: Many of the bacteria that would start to grow would not be killed off by freezing. YMMV based on exposure time, ambient temps, etc.
I wouldn't want to do it with a steak either.

Yep. They start to decompose very fast once they thaw...it´s a risk. Plus they will loose a great deal of nutrition too.

I'd toss them. It doesn't take long for thjem to smell like raw sewage when defrosted which is definitely not a good sign. Chalk it up as a lesson and buy more. We all have done it at least once so don't feel too bad...

    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?
