Axolotl Hiccups

[moony1988]

Hey guys,

After eating a worm or pellet or anything for that matter, my two baby axis seem to get the hiccups. Is that the normal? are they just getting there food down?

At first i thought it was cute as, but now I'm like a stressed parent with a new born... do all axis do this?

My adult male eats that way, too, particularly worms. It's kind of like he's tring to position the worm or pellet correctly in his gullet. Looks kind of distressing but I think maybe it's normal..? I tried giving him much smaller worms and that helped, but he still "hiccups" his food down. My adult female used to do it, too, but finally stopped.
