because the worms only appear in fecal matter they could be pinworms, this means that a trip to the vet may be required although levamisole for fish is safe for axolotls (same dosage as fish) and should be available at most pet shops.

I’ve only noticed them after she has passed stool, they are on the bottom of the tank, not in the fecies itself, I’m keeping an eye out now and taking them out when i find one, If I find its in her fecies I will try levamisole, exotic vets are going to be hard to find near me, I live on Llyn Peninsula in north Wales, crossing everything that its not intestinal, I feed her worms that I breed in a wormery indoors - where would pinworms come from??
if they are coming out of hiding to feed on fecal matter then they could be just detritus worms which are harmless.
if they are pinworm they could be brought in from outside (somewhere that is normal for amphibians to be) as they are normally found in wild species rather than captive.

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?
