.. geeze. :: sigh :: Walmart recently quit carrying the pan trout worms I've been feeding. I had to switch to the larger canadian nightcrawlers. After a week of not eating (I was waiting for the pantrout worms to come in) they grabbed up the nightcrawlers I chopped in half. Yesterday I finished off the last cup of those. 12 to a cup 1 worm a day for 7 axolotls and two salamanders doesn't last long. So I bought a double cup.
They won't touch them. Ok they touched them, bit them even. Then heaved them back out. gross. My daughter was thrilled though "look they're puking!" gag. She was my official puking axie watcher. I gave everyone a worm and all but one was heaved back out.
I tried to feed each axie twice and they wanted nothing to do with the worms. There was no way I was gonna taste them, so back into the cup they went. I wonder how well a worm chopped in half does..... Now all them are on the prowl for food. Digging up plants viciously, throwing sand around. They're pretty torked I think.
My questions are...
... are the worms bad? No they don't smell bad, no they aren't the green ones, yes the worms were moving fine, esp after I hit 'em with the cleaver.
... are the axies just being picky since they were fed so recently after a period of minor starvation?
... does anyone know the name of the company that sells thought pan trout worms so I can find them online and order them?? I don't want to do the puking axies again!
Answers... no I can't go anywhere else right away. The only other baitshop in town doesn't carry worms until the spring.
Now I have to go outside with my sons' airsoft gun to scare the dayum blue heron who thinks my goldfish pond is his smorgas board....
