Hi MartinBr.

Im pretty sure this will not work, i have tried everything but they dont want those worms. I have even let them lay in water for a longer time, but not one our or more. I shall try that thoug and se if i have any luck;) I really hope so..I always feed them with tongs.

I have no idea about that head thing, but that is the part they refuse most hehe.

What i do is pinch the worms several times with the tweezers to make them exude, and then rinse them thoroughly and dry them a bit with paper towels. It works for me.

Yep, and it´s happened to me in the past.
Either keep being patient or change the species of worm...

Okey. Thanks for answer, "good" to hear that it is just not mine.

I will try to get my hands on lumbricus terrestris and see if those works..I have really tried to feed worms several month but with no result, so i belive a change is necessary.

    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?
