Hey all,

I'm new to Phoneix worms.I keep hearing how they supply the most calcium and was wandering if anyone else uses them?

Thanks:cool:

Phoenix worms appear to have a good calcium to phosphate ratio - but certainly no better than earthworms or nightcrawlers. In my opinion, they are a good source for providing variety in a diet or where the keeper is squeemish about cutting up nightcrawlers into smaller, feedable pieces. See this article from our Caudata Culture section: http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/foods2.shtml
 
Just a note, "high calcium" doesn't mean much of anything unless D3 is provided for synthesis.

    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?
