I am getting some fire belly newts soon(about 3) and i want to get a food supply that will be able to replenish itself like brine shrimp or something. i need to do this since where i live is kinda out in the boonies and there is not many places to buy food and i don't wanna have to dig for earth worms:happy:
 
The two best staple diets for Firebellies are Earthworms or, if they'll eat them, high quality amphibian pellets. If you can't provide either of those things you should perhaps consider a different pet.
 
You could set up an earth worm compost, then you don't have to dig that much. They don't multiply fast, though. Getting newts to eat pellets can be easy or a nightmare... :) but those two really are the best choices for newts as Chinadog said.

I fully agree since some individuals of a same species can eat them and other don't. If an individual don't eat them, it will become weak.

    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?
