Hey!
Firstly I would like to thank everyone who has helped me raise some axolotl eggs I bought a couple of months ago (http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...rvae-breeding/67538-advice-axolotls-eggs.html). I would like to thank Mel especially as she has helped me a lot
Now I have only two of the axolotls I brought up. One died as a baby, one I have given away to my flat mate as it was slow to grow (and hence got the name "Fidget") and one jumped out of the aquarium I had them in for a bit while I was out of my flat .
But now they are around two inches big and doing well, I want them to start eating dead food. I have been using live bloodworm which they are eating fine, but I have also got some frozen bloodworm cubes. Today I tried mixing some live bloodworm with a bloodworm cube in the hope they might start eating the dead bloodworm, but unfortunately they only seem interested in the live bloodworm still.
I feed them every day with live bloodworm so maybe I need to cut that down? Although I'm not too sure. I have also got some small sinking carp pellets which they are not keen on either. So mainly I just want to know any tips you have to offer me on drifting them away from live food, and I would be most appreciative.
BTW, I also got a Melanoid baby from Mel, and thought id take a picture of that too!
