If you didn't know from my last post, i've been keeping my tiger salamander in the fridge since the beginning of summer when my air conditioner stopped working and i haven't had the money to get it fixed anyway it's been cooling off here so i've been taking her out of the fridge and back in her regular tank but the problem is she doesn't want to eat her worms in her regular tank so i've been having to put her back in the temporary tank that i kept her in the fridge and put her back in the fridge for her to eat, what should i do? It's about 72 right now and she wouldn't eat unless i stuck her back in the fridge with some dirt and her worm.

Going in and out of the fridge is pretty stressful. They need to be kept at a constant temperature.

Keep her in her tank, and offer food twice a week. She'll eat within a week 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?
