Question: I best ask these questions before we get Axies

[davearnett]

Me and my girlfriend are currently in the process of getting 2 tanks. We also know of someone selling axolotl babies. We know after a certain amount of time we can keep them together and I will be making sure that they are same sex.

What I wanted to know was:

Where can I get food for them online in canada were there shipping isn't going to cost the world ?

Can I use local night-crawlers ? I have heard that they can harbour parasites and other nasties but local ones would ensure a steady food supply for our new pets.

The website i couldnt tell you.
The local Crawlers would be fine. Just look into them and if you think they would i would just kill them in hot water and wash them a little.

Night crawlers will be fine as long as they are from an area where there is no pollution from insecticides etc. I would not personally kill them in hot water, just offer as they are..if too big , cut to size. I keep a wormery , so I have a constant supply for my animals.

Well I will probably have to try that then, the next step would be to keep a night-crawler wormery
