I have an adult Pleuro. Any suggestions for feeding?

I feed my newts every two days or there abouts, if they are breeding I will give them extra. One large nightcrawler sounds about right for one meal, for a wild newt, a big juicy earthworm would be a rare feast.
I keep my nightcrawlers in the bottom of the fridge in moist (not wet) dirt from my garden. They seem to last indefinitely there as long as they don't dry out, so just mist them once a week or so.
 
Hi !

Do take into account the temperature at which you keep your pleuro.
We are now in january and if you keep it in a non-heated room, then it will not need to be fed very often.

Try to see how plump it is. These animals need more time to digest when they are kept at cold temperatures.

    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?
