We have a little he/ she ( can't tell yet) named fluffy, 6 inches wild type . We recently started him on worms, night crawlers ( earth worms were bad at pet store, so started night crawler farm) and was wondering how often to feed. Right now we are feeding him one worm a night from tongs cut into thirds ( not feeding him the head) he always jumps right at it like he has been waiting all day. But from my reading it seems many people don't feed their little friends as often. So my question is am I feeding him to often, even though he seems hungry each time I bring him some food? I only want to do what's best for him so I would like some advise from those that are more experienced than myself.

Some worms will not breed in a worm farm, do you know exactly what types of worms you have? Lumbricus/lobworms/nightcrawlers are one you can't breed at home. You need to keep nightcrawlers in the fridge or they will persih quite quickly.
See this thread for a full discussion and advice on worm farming.
One whole nightcrawler per day is a huge meal at 6", you might consider feeding every other day until you can get a worm farm breeding, or half a worm every day. Ultimatley it's up to you, but overfed axies will either get very fat or will upchuck undigested food and make a mess.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
