I got my axolotl a few months ago, and he's been thin ever since I got him. I've been feeding him little bits of earthworm every day, but I don't think I'm feeding him enough. However, he doesn't react to food that just sits in his tank; he has to be specifically fed live pieces, and I have to space feedings out because he won't snap at food again right after he's just eaten. My question is, how much should he be eating every day? Is a whole earthworm cut up into eight or ten pieces and spaced out too much, and will he stop wanting to eat food once he's had enough for the day?

    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?
