A little suggestion, remove uneaten cricket because if they are very hungry they can become very dangerous to the bombinae(even if the cricket are very very little). A bombina of my friend got one eyes "destroyed" by an hungry little cricket. Anyway the Terrarium should be mostly water with only a little portion of heart. Just a bowl isn't enough. If you give to them just a bowl of water they will live shorter, not reproduce and be less active and be much more stressed. Sorry for my bad english.

One moment, I've just reseen photos and the bowl seem deep to me. How many cm it is deep ?

I would imagine it is a temporary home for holding the juveniles, making it easier to ensure they are eating well and growing on rather than it being a permanent home for adults to live and reproduce in

    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?
