Question: Axies dont seem to be eating much

[Hipersaz]

I've had axies since wednesday, We asked the pet shop where we got them for information about how to feed them they told me to feed them with Dillies 3 each 1s every day they also said they love prawns, I gave them some Dillies on Wednesday and then ate about 1 each and left the rest, I thought they may have been bored of these so I gave them 2 prawns each but cut up they ate a few pieces and left the rest, Can any one tell me if im feeding them right as they dont seem to be eating much? :happy:

how big are they??

try earthworms, they love them!!

There both about 5" would you recomend feeding them everyday?

 

[daremo]

that's 12.5 cm.... I think you should feed them daily until 18 cm or so...

It all depends on how much, what do you feed, how big they get

At that size you can compare their bodies wide with their head, they should look about the same wide looking from above.

and at that size they can eat earthworms without chopping... try with small ones first and see how it goes
