Desperatly seeking help and advice

Please can someone help.
My axies have been fed off bloodworms (Frozen) since I got them 4 months ago. I am running out of blood worms now and have moved onto trying to feed them earthworms. For some reason they love snapping at them and seem to swallow them but then an hour later i go back in to find them wiggling on the bottom of the tank well sucked but not eaten. whats wrong arent axies supposed to love live food? the worms are only small as well not huge. why wont they keep them down?

I believe you're on the right track to suspect the size - they may just be having trouble getting them down. Try cutting /chopping the worms into smaller pieces and see if that works?

I think its size also. I agree with blueberlin cut them up or try to find some smaller ones.

I agree about the size. Also, if the axies aren't actually hungry, they will sometimes snatch up worms but later regurgitate them. So it may be that they are overeating.
