Hello! Wondering how much everyone feeds their axies and how often? I feed once a day and skip a day or 2 a week in thoughts they are opportunists and probably don't eat a ton in nature? Also it's much cooler now and the water slows their metabolism? I feed my adults 2 medium sizes earth worms each. I find the first is down quickly and the 2nd is a little slower with more chomping. Curious what others do. I also treat with bloodworms 2-3 times a month.

I find mine change in behaviour when hungry - if satiated they will just hang where they are and keep doing what they are doing when I approached - unless hungry then they will approach expectantly. This behaviour is different to say, one in particular that will approach it I start talking to them (yeah crazy axolotl lady - beats talking to yourself) or anything else that " invites curiosity".
