Okay, I am SURE someone has asked this but I cant find it anywhere!
I just purchase an axolotl juvi (5 inches) and he only eats 1/2 to 2/3 of a large Canadian nightcrawler a day. I tried red wigglers and he was absolutely NOT having it. He's also had a bit of cut up peeled\cooked shrimp. I am avoiding frozen food at the moment as the tank is still cycling (not ideal, but working with what I've got and he seems a happy boi) and the extra mess will NOT help. SO this leaves me with a bit of a conundrum! I always have some chopped up worm left over and...I dont really know what to DO about it. I have been leaving the worm bits out of the tank in a small dish with some water in it and just feeding the next day (still alive and moving even if kinda gross), but I dont know if that is safe for him and I dont want to put the half-worm back in with the whole ones.
Any advice\experience on this one?
