<i>Hynobius nebulosus</i>

I aquired a pair of H. nebulosus in December, ad so far they are doing well. I originally set them up in a paludarium-type setup, similar to Henk's setups and my own H. dunni tank. However, the mael soon stopped eating properly, lost weight and had to be brought inside for more intense care. Once placed in small plastic box with shallow water (about 0.25 cm), cork bark hide and moss he quickly regained the weight he had lost. Meanwhile the female is eating fine and doing well in the original setup.

My question is this; how do people keep their nebulosus throughout the year - do you use a terrestrial setup for part of the year, of has success been had with a paludarium all year (as with H. dunni)?

Thanks

Chris

    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?
