Hi all,

Just some quick advice if anyone can help, i was feeding my axolotls earthworms, but the other day me and mum decided to do the garden and ive turned the patch i got worms from into a veggie plot, and i raked in some organic chicken maneure pellets to help the veggies obviously. However now im unsure if i can still feed the earthworms to my axies?

Its completely organic stuff but dont want to make them ill so theyve only eaten bloodworm since. Please any advice would be great!

Thanks:rolleyes:
 
Hi AxieNewbie.

I'd see what the other more hardcore Axie owners say, however in any case I would say that the organic chicken manure (after being allowed to settle and decompose, making the soil better - nutritious) would be great for your Axies!

That would mean that the worms coming from there, would be more nutritional to your Axie :D

Or so my limit of Biology, would agree.

I would however A) Wait until another member responds to it and that is then backed up by others and B) keep feeding them bloodworms for now :)

Hope I helped!
Tom
 
Well thats what i thought and hoped too!! Thankyou muchly for your advice, we'll see how many others agree if anyone else replies! Thanks Tom! X
 
I agree. If it's organic, it's mostly just worm food.

Tell your mom not to put too much on, or it'll burn her plants though!

I'm working on a closed-loop system: worms from the garden, to the salamanders, who contribute their poop and waste water back to the garden! Same thing with my daphnia-greenwater-axolotl loop (although the axies are too big for daphnia now).

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
