Suppliments on FF

I know that all insects are low in calcium and there is need to suppliment them before feeding.

So do I need to suppliment them with calcium and vitamin? What suppliment did you use? And how?

I have asked the peoples in petstore, but they have no idea how to suppliment Fruit Flies. All they know is how to do it with Cricket.

Thanks,

Basically the same shake and bake method. Make sure that you use a balanced supplement.

A supplement that has a calcium to phosphorus ratio between 1 and 2:1 (closer to 1.5 to 1 is good), contains a ratio of 10 to 1 to 0.1 of A to D3 to E.

    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?
