Okay, so my fire salamander is refusing to eat worms. Ocassionally he'll eat one if he's very hungry, but for the most part he wants nothing to do with them. He'll follow them until he figures out that it is, in fact, a worm and then turn away from it. He used to absolutely love them, but I think someone fed him a red wiggler that was cut and he got a taste of its icky secretions. He's very thin now and I'm not sure what to do. He lives in the same tank as another fire salamander that is the same age, and that one eats wonderfully. What should I do to keep this guy healthy and get him eating again?

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
