i really need some help. my chinese fire belly had a leg infection and wouldnt eat. it hurt to move i guess. but now that its getting better and he can move fine, he still wont eat! his brothers are just fine, i just hang a worm in front of them and they gulp it down. but he just wont take one. he's so skinny and i'm afraid he'll die of starvation. he's so small i think i might break him if i try to force feed! What should i do!!!???

    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?
