You can use either. If you are feeding an adult only, I would use the lob worms, you many need to cut them in half though. I tend to order the dendrobaena as I have caudates in many different sizes and they suit them better.

That's a LOT of worms... How many axolotls do you have?!

I just bought 1 pound of worms (0.5kg) and I'm wondering what on earth to do with them all!

Dendrobaena keep a bit longer, whereas lobworms tend to die faster, and really need to be kept in the fridge. Some axies don't like dendrobaena, but mine have always been fine with them. If you are ordering from a site like worms direct, you can always ask them to do you a mixed pack to see which you prefer. I find worms direct massively helpful, they always put packs together for me that they don't offer on the Internet.
