Juvenile axolotl not moving after eating

[Squishy The Axie]

My little Water Sausage is around 1.5 inches long. I am currently feeding them bloodworms and I put them in a small food tray, but whenever they finish eating they always just stay sitting in the food dish for a while. Is this normal behavior?

The bloodworms are frozen bloodworm cubes

The temperature of the worms may be a shock to the Axolotl's system.
I once did a tank change with water that I had kept in the refrigerator overnight.
Given my Axolotl's reaction, which was for her to do a lot of barrel rolls and swim around opening and closing her mouth rapidly, I thought that she might die.
Turned out to be muscle cramps brought on by water temperature.
If the blood worms are frozen in cubes, try thawing them and then feeding them to your juvenile.

I always thaw them first

You might consider giving them other food.
Carnivore pellets may be okay.

They dont eat anything else yet, they are kinda picky.
