Hi all, we've changed our axies from small worms to lob worms and they have thrown them up, we did cut them up but maybe they were still too big? Can this make them throw up? we cut them in half so should we try cutting one into three? Thanks.

Hi,

I cut lob worms into thirds and then feed them. but to be honest, my lotls don't seem to like them, & even cut up, they often spit them out. I'm gonna switch back to small earthworms

One of them threw up once, I put it down to him eating more than he could handle.

It could be that your worms are too big, or more likely, that you're feeding them too much/too often.

We feed them every other day, thwey've always been fine until recently, we are going to try and cut one worm into three and see how they go if not then we will give them some blood worms or go back to small worms. Its the first time they've ever thrown up so i can only think that the worms were too big for them.

    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?
