I'm working on slowly feeding my 6 month old axie every other day, but I want to make sure he stays healthy. He's a dwarf, so looks fat from the side, but how about from above? Is he doing ok?

He will come out for food, so I chop up a worm and he will only take 1-2 pieces, so I leave the rest in his bowl and he will graze later. I leave bloodworms in the bowl over night. He eats those too.

Personally I think that he looks very well. His stomach is as wide as his head, which is the general rule for a healthy axolotl. :happy:
 
Awesome. And 6 months isn't too young to reduce feedings? He would eat every day, but it gets pricey since I'm buying worms until my red wigglers breed.

    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?
