One of my newts got a obviously bigger belly . At first I thought that was just because it ate too much,but later I found that after pooping, its belly was still in a huge size. And this status lasts till now(about several months).I don't think it is giving birth to a baby because it seems like a boy and it seems that no one can bear a baby for such a long time! I thought he might be bloated. It has a healthy appetite. and its belly feels soft. Its friends are healthy.
Is It healthy or not? What can I do for it? All answers will be appreciate! Thx a lot!!

    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?
