This is an old thread, so I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to post on it.

But to answer your question, I cut the cube into quarters and defrosted one of the quarters (of course how much you defrost depends on how many babies you're feeding).
Sucked up some of the worms with a dropper, then squirted the dropper so that part of the bloodworm is hanging out of the dropper and waved it in front of my baby till it snapped and eat it.

This was when they were still young and locating food by movement rather than smell.

Haven't read all of the replies, but my suggestion would be to thaw them in a bowl of water, then use a turkey baster to suck up the worms. With the worms in the turkey baster you can drop them in front of your axie

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
