I have not gotten it yet, but when I first get it it is said to be 3 inches long by the breeder, what would I feed a 3 inch long axolotl? How much? when?

Hey there, my axie was around 3 inches when i first got her, i'd say feed her 1 or 2 cubes of frozen bloodworm every other day as your axie is young and pretty small i'd start of with 1 cube every other day and as she gets bigger and older 2 every other day, it is also important to vary your axies diet, i give my axie a earthworm form the garden every so ofen but make sure to clean off any dirt before feeding it to your axie!

i hope this helps :D

    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?
