Hello all,

Frist post but have been lurking for a while...

Ok on to my question. Living in the northwest, what do you think about feeding my new friends slugs,,,, yep slugs? I've had them for about 6 months and they are doing well on worms and feeder guppies..
 
Hi,
I occasionally feed my guys slugs..and they seem to enjoy the change from worms. But do watch out for the escapees :rolleyes:
 
I feed slugs to all of my critters. Just remember to get them from an area that is pesticide free.
 
Slugs can be host to parasites than can be carried over to axolotls. They make a fine food though and if you breed them yourself, they will not give their parasites to the young, which can be fed with confidence.

    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?
