So we recently got 2 new axis. They seem to be in good general health except for the fact that for 3 datys they seem to be pooing out gravel i am guessing from the tank the guy had them in. My concern is that they are so tiny..should i be feeding them anything other the bloodworms and pellets to help boost them to where they should be??

Hi Amandalyn,

Remember to remove the gravel once they are passed out. There are not things we want to 'recycle' back into the axie.

Bloodworms and pellets are excellent choices of food. Perhaps you might also like to try live blackworms? What size are your axies currently?

Hi Amandlyn,

Blackworms are commonly sold in pet stores. I know some places you can even order them through mail. Perhaps you might like to ask around?

Cheers.
