Hi Friends,

I'm just doing some research on the Fire Bellied Newts so that I'm prepared to give my newts (which will come in a weeks time) a great home and life.

The only live food I can get here in my place is Large Live Earthworms from an organic earthworm farm. I feed these (chopped) as a standard diet for a few of my challenging fish and as a treat for all my fish. Just wanted to know if chopped earthworms will be ok as a standard daily diet for my newts ?

Kindly guide me Friends...
Thanks and Regards
Kush

Most definitely Kush, in fact in my opinion earthworms are the best things for newts!

You can also use frozen bloodworms if those are available to you.

Wow, that is so great ! I have a good source of live healthy and fresh earthworms but sadly we dont get any frozen food here except Adult Brine Shrimps. Can I feed them these ?

Thanks a lot for caring and for solving a big problem of mine...
Take care and Have a wonderful day ahead !
Lots of Regards and Care

    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?
