Hi everyone.
I'm wondering how large my earthworms that I feed Lotl should be?
He's about 8 months old and is a pretty good size. I've been giving him whole worms that are roughly 3-4 inches long, and he has no problem getting them in his mouth after a few "gulps."
However, I've been reading that I might want to be cutting the worms up a bit in order for them to be easier for him to swallow.
If he seems to be eating them just fine, is there any reason to actually cut them up?
Also, he sometimes doesn't want to eat every other day. Like this week he's only eaten once, and hasn't seemed even remotely interested in any other food. He doesn't seem too skinny, and his gills and color are just fine, so I don't think anything is wrong with him...just wondering if I should be worried if he just turns his nose up at his food and doesn't eat every other day?
Thanks.
Jeff
