7 inches big enough to start feeding like an adult?

My axie is just about 7 inches and he finally seems to be at a healthy weight where his body is about the width of his head and he’s overall very proportional. I’ve been feeding him 3 pellets every day, as he was skinny even for a baby before. Now I am thinking of moving to 4 pellets every other day, as I saw that was better for them as they mature. Do you think he’s old enough to start being fed like an adult?

    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?
