We have three axolotls. Two of them (Rose and Speckles) we got back in April and the other (Nebula) we just got on Sunday. The two we had before we bought at about 2 months old and we had issues getting them to eat. We tried black worms and they loved them. Rose has since moved to eating nightcrawlers and red wrigglers, but Speckles will only eat black worms. Nebula, who is slightly smaller, is also eating red wrigglers. We would really like to get Speckles eating the worms since they are waaaay cheaper and he makes such a mess eating the black worms.
We're currently trying to withhold the black worms, but it's been 3 days and he still won't eat the worms. He takes them, chews them for a moment, and then spits them back out. I've seen a little about soaking the worms in garlic but I can't really find anything saying it's safe for them.
He is also a healthy weight and size. We just really would like all 3 to be on the same food for money reasons. Also we waste so many black worms because lots of them just flow right out his gills.
Any ideas?
