Hi I've had my axolotls for a few months now and I've been having problems feeding my wild type and leucistic. The problem is they hate everything! As soon as I find something they will eat they start hating it. The wild type isn't as bad. They would not go for the salmon pellets at all. I then started to buy frozen bloodworms they took for a little while but then they wouldn't eat them anymore. After that I started getting black worms. They loved them and would eat them quickly. After awhile they didn't care for them anymore. The leucistic will spit out any Canadian nightcrawler even if I cut them up smaller nexuses a full one is too big for their mouths the wild type will sometimes go for it and eat them. I feed them by hand or they'll ignore it. I didn't want to go for fatty foods but I figured I'd try wax worms and see how it went. The leucistic loved them but now she hates them! My golden albino she doesn't care for them I'm not really worried about her ( you can see the size difference ) as much as the other two I don't want them to starve to death because they're picky and I don't want them to get sick from only eating bad food. I'm worried they will wither away to nothing unless I find a good alternative that they won't refuse to eat after a few days/weeks. I'm sorry for the long post but I decided since I was taking them out to do a water change I might as well take a good above picture of them too. They're maybe 6-7in. Thank you for the help and advice I really appreciate it!
