Hi everyone I'm really hoping for your expertise I have 20 baby axolotls that are about a month and a half old that just the other day were started on frozen blood worm with that said I am now finding out that I was supposed to chop these bloodworms up and it appears many of them are backed up. I've been so great with keeping them in good care and feel now I have failed and I'm very worried about them. What should i do at this point?
 
Could you take some pictures?

I'd just not feed them for a few days and wait till they poo. My friend poured a load of 'blood worm' into his juveniles container and his juvey was backed up for most the week, then it was pooing blood worm for another week.

Think it just needs time to get out the other side :rolleyes:
 
Well I'm back in the same situation more of the babies have decided not to eat and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. For the most part each baby is in its own dish and I am feeding them cut blood worm that was frozen then thawed and feeding it to them with a long pair of tweezers. Could they be refusing food due to being backed up.... is it safe to fridge them they were hatched October 31st.... please help I don't want these little guys to die

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
