My axolotl hasn’t eaten in weeks

You have 2 options with blackworms

Either start a culture in a 5 or 10 gallon tank - need a heater, gravel, sponge filter and algae wafers

or

Keep in a tub big enough for them to make a thin layer on the bottom, and cover with 1/2-1" of dechlorinated water and keep in the fridge.
You MUST rinse fridged blackworms every day to remove waste and debris they can die off quickly otherwise.

hi,
the axolotis is about 4 inches long. how long can they go without eating? If i ordered blackworms today it will be a few days before I get them. Do you keep them in the refrigerator or at room temperature? What do they eat? Any advice would help. thanks!

    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?
