Hello guys,
soon, as some of you may know, I get 2 juvenile newts land. So before too ordered a portion of fruit flies without wings to feed them. In order to always have food available I intend to start a culture of these! However I have doubts as to the substrate that I use, so I have an opinion of yours!

Which of the following will be the best:

- muesli
- basic fruits/Such as bananas and apples
- Add water or white wine

Or

-Potato puree flakes
-Sugar
-Wheatgerm
-Some dried yeast.
-Add water or juice

tanks
 
I used the second recipe with great results.
 
Yes I know, azhael, I took the recipe for one of your posts, and also saw the movie! The question is where will I get the wheatgerm and dried yeast!? So I posted another recipe, to confirm whether it is viable, because he is easier to get all the ingredients!
thanks
 
Hello everybody,
I found another recipe for the substrate of the fruit fly and that is what I use, I leave it here for those interested, hopefully that will give good results! :bowl:
cornmeal
a crushed fruit / banana, apple, pear, it does
baker's yeast
water

    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?
