hello!

i have this relatively new earthworm compost bin, which i have been feeding coffee grounds to.
I've only acquired the coffee grounds very recently but i just thought. what if the coffee fed worms are toxic for the axolotl?

i couldn't find anything on the internet about this. so my question is, does anyone know if this would be harmful for my lotls?

Another question: if you have experience with raising worms, which is your recommended way to purge the worm for feeding the axolotl ?
 
although earthworms can be used to help with the breakdown of coffee grounds etc.. they can be affected by caffeine and in turn possibly affect any animal which preys on them including axolotls.
because there isn't much information regarding caffeine's effect on worms and if/how they break it down it makes them unsafe to be used as a food source.

    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?
