Hi All,

I have always fed my axolotyls with small chunks of cows liver, is this wrong? as there only seams too be talk of worms/pellets etc?, also he/she wont even look at pellets?, i feed him with a wooden skewer and the liver on the end he wont eat unless i feed him?

Thanks

Worms are the best food item you could offer them. Liver is a horrible food item as a staple. Liver contains excessive amounts of vitamin A, which can lead to hypervitaminosis.

Not to mention it´s nutritionally incomplete, they can´t digest it properly, it´s too caloric and a completely unnatural food for them.
As Justin says, earthworms, that´s the ideal food.
