I was wondering how much food I should give to my Axie. He's pretty small, but seems to be hungry all the time. I gave him some red mosquito larvae yesterday and he liked it. It was as much food that could fit in a 1cm cube. Right now, he's been searching at the bottom for food. Any advice on this?

Kia oara Shawn,

we feed our abult axie every two days 1cm by 1/2cm block of axie food or about 2cm of live earthworm.

Our juvenile was abit small when we got it so it had two small feeds a day now its on one feed per day.

I don't want them to get fat but I don't want to starve them either. I have noticed they will both eat as often as I offer them food.

Cheers

Ian

Hi.. My two (@27cm and 23cm where being fed every two days 2 worms each ( @
6cm worms) occasionally a raw tiger prawn or a strip of raw meat. Recently as its been getting slightly warm for them they are prowling around the front of the tank begging for food ( yep, they really do..needless to say they are rewarded for it too!), so now are being fed once a day. Looking at their girth they are by no means fat, but both have been growing enormouslyover the last 2 months putting on 3-4 cm each. Both do reject food if they do not want more and I do hand feed them so I can see who has what. Hope this helps in some way!

    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?
