So I made the mistake of feeding a small earthworm to each of my juvenile axolotls. they took it down easily, but sure enough they have thrown up EVERYTHING they have eaten today. I know I'm lucky that they didn't choke. I have read that a good rule of thumb is to cut the worm about the width of the axolotl's head; is there truth in this? the worms aren't big wrigglers from a bait shop. they're the skinniest earthworms I have seen, about 2mm in diameter when stretched out. could I offer them a little bit longer piece? the smallest lotl is about three inches, the largest getting close to four and a half inches. I know it's early to feed them live earthworms, but they are going through two bloodworm cubes a day and require a lot of them. I figured they would grow quicker and enjoy a more substantial meal. I'm open to all help and opinions and I'm not going to cry about answers that I don't like. thank you!
