Hi. I have two fb newts. I've tried to feed them worms, but they don't like them. One tried once, but gave up, and the other has had no interest for about the 6-7 years I've had them. And, all they've ate has been pellets, but it seems now they will only eat them when they have to. Plus, I heard worms are healthier - so what should I do?

Keep trying. It will take a few days or maybe even weeks to get them to switch foods. You can trying cutting the worm into pieces the same size as the pellets and then drop them in when you drop in the pellets. Pellets aren't a terrible food source so I wouldn't worry about putting forth too much effort to get them to switch.
 
Ok. Thanks will 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?
