Eh, i cant see it would be really harmful, but sometimes plastic leeches bad stuff. I would just put it in for say half hour whilst they feed, then remove it when they are done.
My dish doesnt stay in anyway, i remove it after every feeding and when they see the lid come off the tank and the dish go in, they all gather round and wait for food

I used these containers from The Anchor Hocking Company in Target.

It is a great size and shape. I found them easy to work with since they have a flat bottom. Less of a mess. The mouth is as large as the body, so it matches my axolotls.Lol.

My axies are about 10 and a half inches long...I found a glass biscuit barrel in our local pound shop with a screw on lid....it's ideal and two axies can fit in it quite happily at feeding time. Makes cleaning up after them easier and I tend not to end up with blood worm all over the tank.:happy:

I've used a shallow dish to feed my axie for months, it stays in the tank 24/7. I recently tried feeding jars as she often misses a few pellets and they pollute the water if they stay in too long (I fish any out after a few hours). She doesn't seem to understand the feeding jar and it takes way too much effort to coax her into it. Probs going to go back to dishes tomorrow.

What an awesome idea! This is my first time hearing about feeding jars - will definitely be trying this!

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
