Hi all,

After a long conversion this morning, with a few members, and on further reading, I an still confused:confused:, about what to feed my little axie milky. The place that I got her gave me martine quartet with octopus, shrimp, and krill, but milky is refusing to eat and hasn't had a full meal in days:(. I am going to stop feeding milky that food, and now know to feed her/him on bloodworms, earthworms, but was wanting to know exactly what I can and cant feed milky (i.e. mealworms, crickets, brineshrimp, etc). Also what is everyone's opion on frozen or live which is best.

Thanks all for reading

Ryan:cool:

Frozen cubed bloodworms are favourable over live ones as they are just too small and feeding would take a long time. Defrost the cubes and drop in front of him in lumps.

Also, a live earthworm every 2 days or so would be sufficient, and are known as the best source of the nutrients needed.
