Is it okay to catch wild fruit flies for my baby frogs?
 
AW: Wild fruit flies

Yes, if they didn't get in contact with insecticides or pesticides, wild fruit flies are safe. At least I don't know any reason why they should not be safe.

When my salamanders were small, I fed them quite often fruit flies from our compost heap.
 
Hi If you use wild caught fruit flies from the compost heap as I do as well . Try putting them in the fridge in a plastic box for an hour or two first . It slows them down and they cant fly until they warm up. Small newts can then fill themselves up with them. regards KB

    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?
