Hi guys! I have about a one and a half year old axolotl, and I was just curious your opinion on how many of these pellets I should feed in total a week (see pic attached)? I attached both the brand and the size of the pellets in comparison with my hand. I feel as though I may be over feeding, but my axie acts like I’m under feeding. Also, I know that pellets are not the best staple diet for Axolotls —but mine refuses any type of worm no matter what kind or how I prepare them. I just want to make sure I’m feeding her correctly. Thanks so much!

Have you tried live worms? Or wiggling frozen defrosted worms in front of it? That normally works!

I'm not sure if you can overfeed, as long as you're cleaning up any leftovers it should be fine to try and feed more.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    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?
