I just had a mini heart attack. I just fed Astrid a night crawler as I usually do. A few seconds later, I see her thrashing around. I rush over to the tank only to see half of the worm sticking out from behind her gills. So I used my feeding tweezer to pull it out. It is not bleeding and she ate it right up right after. She is swimming/walking around looking for more food. She seems fine and there was no bleeding. I hope she is ok. Has this ever happened to anyone?

    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?
