Can I feed Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets to my axie?

[karipatra]

Hey everyone!

I can't seem to nail down these sinking salmon pellets that people are talking about as far as feeding. Nobody has mentioned a brand name, so can anyone tell me if Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets are the right type?

Now that I have a tank and she's moving to the big time, I want to get Audrey on pellets instead of just blood worms!

Thanks!

Bump cause I have the same question, I've heard some say yes it is perfectly acceptable. But id like more opinions

Some of my newts love them, other not so much.

I feed these regularly to the goldens I have here that are looking for homes - I alternate one day worms the next pellets - the permanent residents here refuse to eat pellets but I think it's important for those still waiting for homes to be able to eat whatever is on offer. The ones staying here know I'm happy to spoil them & take full advantage of me lol

I've had no issues with these pellets & they seem to smell enough to attract attention & get sucked up with glee even when just sitting on the glass tank floor. The poop is good consistency & easy to siphon up so I give these pellets the thumbs up
They do go quite furry after 12hrs so make sure to clean up uneaten pellets.

Regarding the salmon pellets, the product of choice (in the USA) is Rangen soft-moist salmon pellets. You can buy 40-pound bags from the manufacturer... or they are available in normal quantities from 3 sources that I know of:

Food
FLYMEAT.COM

I've also heard that ZooMed's newt pellets are now the Rangen salmon pellets, but I'm not 100% sure of this.

Thanks everyone! I ordered pellets from Flymeat as they are here in Washington state, so I'll get them quickly!

Other than them being a bit expensive i think they are great my axies go after them right away when i give it to them. I use them more as a snack.
