Hello. I'm new and didn't know axolotls should not be fed whole grubs. But I fed Axel and Amanda Grubs yesterday. Are they in danger? And what should I do now?
 
What kind of grub? Most insect larvae are fine.

Some axies have trouble digesting them unless you prick the skin of the grub, but if not they will pass them whole.
 
Do you mean mealworms? They are flour beetle larvae

Correct me if I'm wrong. But I think I read on hear to remove the head before feeding it to your Lotl. Especially grass hoppers and mealworms. And I would imagine anything with pincers. Btw, freaky lookin grub! I usually go for the soft body grubs. Right now my organic green beans are covered (end of year, they are done). Too bad my guys are being finicky right now.....

    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?
