I got my first axolotl a 6 days ago and he is yet to eat.
I have tried feeding it both meal worms and beef heart via the following methods; holding the food infront of him so it can see, wiggling it in front of him, placing the food in front of him, dropping it in front of him, dropping it in the tank for him to find later. The closest he's come is two or three snaps at meal worms but he doesn't get very close to actually catching them and usually shyes away from them after the first snap. I don't know what to do, I don't want him to die for the last day all he's done is hide under a log and I think he might be getting ill/stressed.
