You're lucky. My H.orientalis won't eat worms at all. Though FB can't take on the same size of worms like Triturus sp can it's no problem for them to tackle a worm of 2 cm. It's amazing what they can stuff inside. If you feed him a worm like that two or three times in the week he will be doing fine.

Check this to get an idea of their appetite:

    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?
