Does anyone else agree with me that this websites info isnt that great?

http://www.easyamphibians.co.uk/axolotl/feeding-axolotl.html

For example:

they should not be fed purely on worms for example as they would begin to show signs of malnutrition and will develop liver problems if fed on high fat content food for prolonged periods of time

I know that you should feed them a varied diet so they dont go off one thing.. But what ive been lead to believe is that worms are great as a staple...

there are other things i dont agree with like what they say about temps... they should be kept at 18c - 20c.

And they are to be fed 2-3 times a day!

Take a read and see if you can see anything you dont agree with..

The links are at the top of the page in blue.. for the other ares...

"They require a balanced and varied diet which should include all of the above but none in excessive quantities, they should not be fed purely on worms for example as they would begin to show signs of malnutrition and will develop liver problems if fed on high fat content food for prolonged periods of time."

It mentions this as you enter the link that they need a balanced Diet, but the part where it talks about three times a day might be in question, as feeding an axie three times a day may just make axies fat, rather than just fed and healthy.
I don't agree with the temperater either, as axolotls.org and a great deal of people on is have pointed out that axies like cold water, and need a temp of about 16 -18 degrees celcious, as I believe that the higher the temperature, the more the axies metablism speeds up. Good job Kim for finding this site, perhaps you should email the person who made it and tell them about this site and let them know that some of their information in all do respect isn't correct? Because me still being new to the axie world would have come across that site first rather than this one, would have taken the information to heart, as I have with this site

. I have foudn that Axolotls have special needs, especially when the weather outside is hot, and I have to make sure the tank stays the right temp, which I have found I haven't had much of a problem yet so far, as I manage to keep it cool with frozen chuncks of tank water and frozen water bottles and air conditioning

seems to work pretty good. Once again, great find.
