Baby Axie diet?

[tlow]

Hey all,
My first ever axie is about 3-4cm long, however I have no idea how old he/she is. It has all four legs. I'm really worried about how much it has been eating, I don't know what a normal amount is for this size. It usually eats about 10 1cm-long bloodworms per day. Is this enough? And should I be supplementing with anything else?
Thanks!

At that size, I usually give mine as much as they can eat twice daily. He does look a little thin, but not bad. I might add live blackworms if you can get them, and if you can get small earthworms or chop them small enough, that's a great food, too. Bloodworms are fine for now, but earthworms and/or pellets have better nutrition, so I try to switch mine as soon as they are big enough to take them.

Thanks. Some days he's really keen on his worms and others I feel like I am force-feeding him lol. I have added pellets, though he doesn't really seem to enjoy those either :/ Blackworms unfortunately are not an option where I am located and neither are earthworms... I would dig my own but the ground is still frozen.
