Refrigerating fruit fly maggots

My ~2in ambystoma maculatum larvae is currently taking primarily fruit fly maggots. I will be going away for a night or two later this month and I was wondering if I could refrigerate cleaned, live fruit fly maggots for my pet sitter to feed during my absence? My hope being the cool temps will prevent them from cocooning up and keep them slow, live, fresh and clean to make it easier for the "babysitter" to feed.

Thanks!

You might be just as well off skipping feeding for a day or two.

    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?
