Hi All,

I have always fed my axolotyls with small chunks of cows liver, is this wrong? as there only seams too be talk of worms/pellets etc?, also he/she wont even look at pellets?, i feed him with a wooden skewer and the liver on the end he wont eat unless i feed him?

Thanks
 
Worms are the best food item you could offer them. Liver is a horrible food item as a staple. Liver contains excessive amounts of vitamin A, which can lead to hypervitaminosis.
 
Not to mention it´s nutritionally incomplete, they can´t digest it properly, it´s too caloric and a completely unnatural food for them.
As Justin says, earthworms, that´s the ideal food.

    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?
