Re: Grubs
I use them as feeders all the time. Crush the heads before feeding as they have very strong, sharp jaws that could injure your pet.
The usual wild caught food rules apply though: area must be pesticide, herbicide and chemical free.

Ive been useing them as food for a couple years now. I have pictures of them in my profile. Sludemonkey is right about crushing their heads they can give you a quick pinch and probally could cut through your salamanders skin. I find them crawling on their backs after heavy rains on the pavement in my yard. I also leave a pile of grass cuttings and leaves on the pavement placed against a curb. Which they collect under.
I have tried to keep them alive in a container of dirt. I place Zucchini on the top of the soil which they ate like crazy. But their waste made the soil into mud which started to kill them. So now I just catch them as needed. My Blue Tongue Skink loves them also.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
