My axolotls don't seem to be sick, but it is odd they seem to only have loose poo these days. They used to be on bloodworms only and their stool was very regular. But since I switched to earthworms their stool seems to be very loose and almost gooey. Does this normally happen on earthworms? Do anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same problem. However it passed and as hoped hes all fine now; he wad exactly the same was healthy and eating doing what he does on a day today basis .... so your axies should be fine ... its just the change in food :)

Do you get digestive changes when you have weird food? Well so do axies!
Your axie is just adjusting to the new food. I find earthworm based poops to be bigger and prone to disintegration than bloodworm poops.

    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?
