Small earthworms and waxworms. That should work. If it doesn´t, then your animal is in trouble for reasons other than being picky or just thin.

Well I've tried hand feeding which I have successfully done with other newts but he refuses and turns his head, he was eating well if I left slugs or chopped earthworm in his tank but he hasn't eaten in about 5 days so I'm getting worried, I put some slugs and things in there tonight, I'll have to wait until morning to find out.

    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?
