Hi,
after looking at several photos of recently morphed newts i have noticed several of them look like they are being kept on kitchen roll.
I was wondering if any particular brands are used as i was a bit concerned about possible chemicals in the paper?
Maybe people who use it could recommend brands they use?

Thanks Martin

The best kitchen roll (paper towels, I'm guessing?) would be any unbleached paper. So the towels you can find that are brown in color would be the best as they are treated with far fewer chemicals. Stay away from anything with scents or any other "power."

    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?
