Last week we brought home a 5" juvenile axolotl. According to the breeder she has been eating red worms, earthworms and minnows. So I went out and got redworms from a bait shop. I tried for three days to get her to eat those red worms, and she would either try and spit it out, or just outright swim away.
On day three my pellets arrived from Lexolotls, and she ate 4 or 5. I was over the moon! Next day she ate 4 pellets and then the next day she would not eat at all.
She swims around and otherwise seems happy exploring her tank. Should I just keep offering food and assume she will not starve herself to death? This is my first axolotl and I am super worried for her.
Thanks!
