Hi all! New axolotl owner here and I'm super excited!
I have two adorable leucistic juveniles about 3 inches long and breeder said they were hatched December 27, 2017.
I've been feeding them hikari bloodworms twice a day and I just started giving them a few omega one newt & salamander pellets. My question is how much should I be feeding them and am I overfeeding?
I read in a few posts that some people feed them until they stop eating, usually about half a cube, or until their stomachs are about their head size. And then there's the odd posts where they say they feed 3 bloodworms twice a day. I just don't know what to believe! Haha
Their appetite has definitely grown and together they each about half a cube each feeding, so almost a cube of hikari bloodworms a day (Sorry I don't know how many exactly as I don't keep count). I give them a few pellets here and there as a variety, Even though on the package it says to feed 3-4 pellets daily or as much as the animal can consume. Is this overfeeding?
Sorry for the long winded post.... Anyways in short: How much should I feed a juvenile axolotl?
Thanks!
