I received my 3 juvenile sals Thursday morning (10/10). Two of them look very comfortable (see-through pre-dug burrows) and I've seen one roaming around here and there. When should I try to feed them? I dangled a worm in front of one's face for 10 mins and he wasn't interested. Should I dig them all up and try again? I'm afraid I am going to stress them out but I don't know when they last ate! Any suggestions??

Try cut-up pieces of night crawlers, wax worms or dusted crickets...they may take to different foods. Juvies should be feed several times per week. Try feeding at night as they are by nature, nocturnal feeders.

    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?
