Would phoenix worms be good feeders for spotted salamanders?..

I think mine are between 2'-3 total length currently and I've been feeding them small mealworms. I'm getting ready to do a feeder order, probably early May from Rainbow Mealworms if anyone has any suggestions on what I could buy from them that my salamanders would like.

Phoenix worms would be better than mealworms, I feed them to several species with good results. Your everyday garden worm or baitshop night crawler would be a much better staple foods for your salamander. Earthworms will provide the proper vitamin ratios and are readily available. Mealworms are fine sometimes but should not be the foundation of your sals diet.

    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?
