I have four axolotls which are growing very fast. I've bought alot of feeder fish for them, but one batch apparently gave my little babies horrible ancor worms, so I don't really trust the fish at my petstores any more. My guys have been fed frozen bloodworm cube every meal time for a long time now, and i want to switch over to something cheaper and bigger that my axies will enjoy. I've fed them earthworms from a bait store once before (they each got a halft worm at a time because they were too small for the whole worm), and they seemed to really enjoy it.
Now I am considering going out to the bait shop or gas station and finding a couple containers of nice looking earthworms/nighcrawlers and attempting to make them breed in a bucket of dirt, potting soil, and leafyness.. I've read that its smart to have 2 buckets, one ontop of the other, and have the top bucket have hole in the bottom for drainage so the worms dont drown..
Is breeding them just that simple, or will i just end up killing the worms or ending up with the same amount that i bought.???? Any suggestions?
