January 1, 201313 yr comment_514635 I am on the hunt for bloodworms for my Axolotl larvas and found these Freeze Dried Bloodworms. never used them before. do I have to put them in water until they are soft again and feed them ? I know freeze dried coffee but bloodworms... Report
January 1, 201313 yr comment_514645 They will absorb the water when you feed them. I dont know that the larvas will eat them though as they bear little resemblance to either the frozen or real thing. Report

January 1, 201313 yr Author comment_514647 you will need live food for axolotl larvae, BBS, or daphnia are best no, mine are already grown out of that stage (got BBS daily, didn't like daphnia - it's probably me feeding the daphnia wrong), they already eat pieces of garden worms (tiny pieces as in one ring), half whiteworms and fruit flies I give them with tweezers, just thought bloodworm pieces would be easier to feed (and I am against axolotl pellets) EDIT: sorry they are probably no longer called larvae (or are they ?), they have front legs and the hind legs start to grow, they are between 30 and 35mm now. what are they called now ? juveniles ?

January 1, 201313 yr Author comment_514667 Can you not get hold of frozen bloodworms? if I drive to Dunedin I will but noone seems to send frozen bloodworms to Naseby, too much out in the tussock it seems. we even have a church, a hotel, a shop and a pub, I live a stone throw away from the CBD but it is listed as Rural Delivery with all the courier companies...
