Any advice over feeding earthworms to 6 inch long axolotls? Should they be chopped up first? Should they be "disinfected" in some way first before feeding them? Thanks

Ok, so here's what I do.

I get the worm (from my garden) and put it in a little container with water for about 20mins. If it's a small worm (say about 1 -2 inches), I just feed it whole to my axies. If it's larger, I simply cut it in half and hand feed it to them. Any left over worms, I leave in the container of water in (with a lid!!) and pop it into the fridge until the next day.

Have fun!!:D
