Hello! So I've been feeding my juvie bloodworms for the time I've had him. He's 5 inches and I thought it would be a good time to switch to nightcrawlers as they are less messy and better for axolotls than just feeding bloodworms. I started trying around a week ago. I cut one into 4 pieces and fed two of them to him and he successfully ate all I gave him and passed it.
The next day I did the same thing and it was successful again. However on the 3rd day he ate the part and spat it out. I thought the piece may have been too big so I cut in half but then he just refused to eat it. I fed him bloodworms that night and he ate them (So he is eating) this has repeated for the past 4 days. He is eating bloodworms everyday and isn't showing any signs of stress. Should I try something else or is there anyway to prep the nightcrawler so he won't spit it out?
