My 9 axie larvae will be 5 weeks old on Thursday. They all have front legs and are starting to get back legs, too. I have tried feeding frozen bloodworms a few times (thawed and cut into small pieces), but they're not eating many of them. I have seen them eat *some*, but they aren't eating enough to survive on. So, I panic and dump bbs into their tank and they eat like I've starved them for weeks, lol!
Any advice? I've tried holding the bloodworms with tweezers and wiggling them, but it hasn't worked 100% of the time.
Any advice/suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

Try not feeding them for a day or two, then offering bloodworms. At 5 weeks old, they're definitely not going to starve to death overnight.

    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?
