Do you think its fine if I just feed my juvenile marbled newts a sole diet of earthworms and isopods? They appear content with it. Every time I drop in the daily serving of them they run right over and begin devouring them. Just curious if I should add in another source of food like bloodworms or fruit flies.
 
Both are calcium rich and nutritious so it´s probably a perfectly acceptable diet. Variety is generally recommended, but it can be quite occasional. A staple of earthworms and isopods sounds good.
 
Ours also get a diet which consists mostly out of isopods and earthworms. I offer them waxies or little slugs as a treat sometimes.
 
Thanks. I might try slugs, bloodworms, or waxworms as treats maybe. My little guys are such pigs. Anything that moves in the tank ends up being devoured. At least I know they're eating.

    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?
