So i just fed my axolotl (4.5-5 inches) its first night-crawler and he ate the entire thing in one go (no cutting needed). But then i thought to myself.. since axolotls have no teeth and can't bite the worms in half are the worms alive while in my axies stomach??

Yes, they live for some time in the stomach. Not a pleasant way to die.

    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?
