Can my adult eat tiny leeches? he is about 2 is inches long, and the leeches are about one centimeter, will they eat him?

I have never thought to try feeding leeches to a frog, so I guess I can't say for certain- but it seems very unlikely to me. Small crickets and dubia are probably better choices for food items.

I would just use worms personally, leeches don't seem too unsafe but they can still bite and have suction cups.

    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?
