Heya,
Ive got two "male" axolotl's which are around 20cm possibly bigger.
Just wondering, other than crickets and meal worms (i think...... there the white maggot looking things) can i feed to them??
One is getting over a feeding problem though live food seems to of done the trick.
Any advice on what and how much would be very welcome
Thanks

Earthworms, waxworms, bloodworms, blackworms, maggots, any soft-bodied insect/larvae/annelid, pellets. All of these foods are better than crickets and mealworms, which both have chitinous shells and can be hard to digest. In addition, mealworms have very strong jaws which can injure axolotls internal organs.

    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?
