After a discussion in the chat room the other day I decided to contact a couple of worm suppliers here in Aust. to find out what types of worms they stock, then post here to see which of those would be the better choice.
I have received prompt replies from at least two sellers which I have listed below with the scientific names of the worms they sell.
Kizan Worms
"Big Reds" - Eisenia Fetida
Quote: [We money back guarantee they will be readily taken by your axolotls. I recommend you try] ... even worm farmers will say anything for a sale!
Kookaburra Worm Farms
Tigers -Eisenia Fetida
Blues - Perionix Excavatus/Spenceralia
Reds - Eisenia Andrei
African Night Crawlers - Eudrilus Eugenia, and
Gardeners Friend or Snake Worms - Amynthis Sp.
Unfortunately, looking at their website I think you actually get all of the above worms in a pack, rather than ordering the specific type you want. I am awaiting another email to clarify that.
As I understand alot of axolotls will not eat the Red Wriggler, and other composting varieties so my question here is;
Of the above varieties which ones would the experienced axolotl enthusiast here go for?
Cheers
