Changed the moss and it died

Wednesday, I exchanged the old moss that was in my opacum's habitat for some new moss. I also 'cleaned' the habitat(I used only spring water and no chemicals to do so). I put a few pinhead crickets(has just recently morphed) in the habitat that night after cleaning for it to have to eat. Yesterday the salamander seemed okay, I checked it at about 5:30pm and it seemed okay, then I checked it again at 6:30 and it was dead. This baffles me. Did it have something to do with the new moss? Any comments are helpful. Thanks
 
I doubt it was the moss, after all he hadn't eaten for over a month if I am not mistaken.

My opacum ("sibling" to Paige's) just ate its first cricket in over 3 weeks!!!
 
My opacum just died as well....

    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?
