Okay so i have had my new axolotl for about a week now and i feed togepi small pieces of worms and i noticed he will chew it up sometimes and then spit it out a few times before swallowing it . I am unsure if im cutting the pieces maybe too big although i don't think so because he is 7 and a half inches but i also think maybe he is just still getting used to his new home ! any advice would be lovely !

That feeding reaction is completely normal and nothing to worry about, all of my axolotls will go through those motions exactly when eating. The worm bits you are feeding them sound like they are sized appropriately, I let my 5 inch axolotls eat full earthworms, it takes them a minute but they suck them down eventually with no problem at all.

Congratulations on your new axolotl, and welcome to the amazing world that these beautiful amphibians bring you to.

Yeah it's no problem, I'm happy to help. :D remember you can always search through old forums for advice, tips, and tricks. Almost every question you have has most likely been asked on here before by another member.

Hahahahaha, every time Stelly does that I'm like, "Ah! Don't you dare!" Because he has sometimes spit out something he doesn't like. But, he does that spit and chew all the time. It's like he's Gumming his food to death.

    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?
