Hi there! My baby, Mischief, is a 9 inch long white albino. The person I rescued him from said he was 4 months old. How much of a nightcrawler should I feed him how often? I have been feeding him a full nightcrawler every other day. Is this enough?
 
I think it is, though I have never kept axies. Keep an eye on her size/weight and that should be a good indicator.
 
For the size, that amount should be fine. As Otter said, just keep an eye on weight! I will say though, if he’s that big I doubt he’s only 4 months old. My axie is almost 6 months old and only approachhing 5 inches!
 
I held a tape measure up to the glass when he was laying straight right against it. From the tip of his "nose" to the tip of his tail was 9 inches. Did I measure him incorrectly? Or did the person just not have a clue what they were telling me when they told me he was 4 months? This is my first baby.

    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?
