Hi, I'm a n00b, I just got my albino axolotl a couple of weeks ago. No idea how old he (or she?) is, but it's name's Zero. I was just wondering, I feed my axy 3 pellets twice daily, is this okay?
Thanks,

That is way too much. What size pellets are they - the size determines how many pellets? You should only feed two or three times a week. Is she/he actually eating the pellets?

Wow really? They're about 5mm in diameter, they don't say what size they are on the container but the directions say "Feed your Axolotl twice per day. Use an amount that they will consume in 6-10 minutes."
It eats every single pellet I give it.

If the animal is young and has to grow I would give him even more pellets! Instead if the animal is an adult I'd feed him once every 2-3 days.
