Ambystoma maculatum larvae

[Noodlethenewt]

Okay I've had some maculatum for a month or so. They eat daphnia and mosquito larvae but I'm not having enough to keep up with their growing appitite I have been trying to get them to eat frozen blood worms from tweezers but they just bite it once and spit it out and then won't eat it until the next day. They are one to three centimeters long but the smallest did eat one strangely. Do they hate them or should I try some other food

Thanks in advance

You can try a different food, maybe try using tubifex worms if you can find them, or maybe white-worms or fruit-fly maggots. This article should help if you do decide to switch them to a different feeder: Caudata Culture Articles - Food Items for Captive Caudates

Thanks but they all just kind of had a "growth spurt" and got much larger and now take food from the tweezers much easier
