I have had my slimy salamander, named Night Fury, for a couple weeks now, and I have tried several types of food for him, including dried flies from the pet store, small live earthworms, and baby slugs. I've tried feeding him straight from a pair of tweezers with no luck, so now I just place the food in his tank and hope he eats it. So far, it looks like he might have eaten a baby slug, but none of the other foods. What will he definitely eat? Thank you! Here's a pic of my cutie!

Basically small worms, or cut up night crawlers; pill bugs, small insects you might find in its environment, or small bugs and worms that you can cultivate or buy.

He finally took a couple bites of a smallish slug the other day! So now I now he will defintely eat slugs, I just gotta find small enough ones that he will eat in one sitting.
 
Tiny live prey- I would suggest fruit flies and bean beetles, which are easy to culture at home. Tiny crickets, earthworms, and isopods will probably be eaten as well.

    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?
