how often do you feed axolotl?!

Hello I'm a newbie to this site!
I've recently got a white axolotl called Jiggly and was wondering if anyone can advise me on how regularly to feed him/her?! I've been feeding Jiggly a pea sized amount of bloodworm every day but the guy in the pet shop said to feed him/her every two days! Every web site I've visited states what kind of food to give them but not how often!
I'm also having a spot of difficulty in sexing Jiggly! I change my mind every day! The back bit by his back leg/tail seemed larger yesterday so I thought that Jiggly's a male but today it seems smaller so could be female!! I'm in disagreement with my boyfriend- I think Jiggly's male and he thinks Jiggly's female!
I think Jiggly's about 4 inches long- so probably 1 year old or so?!
Any tips on feeding and care would be much appreciated,
thanks Stiky x

Hi Stiky,

4 inches would put your Jiggly more like somewhere between 3 and 5 months old. At this point, I would also be feeding him every day - not too much, though, of course. Sounds like you are doing fine with the amount you are feeding now.

This will also probably be too young to sex Jiggly. If s/e is white, look to see if s/he has black fingertips, and if s/he is black, look for white fingertips - this is the first sign of puberty. Most likely you will still have to wait a couple of months or so to be sure.
