Caryl Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 My son used to have a couple of them. Stupid things! If the worm wasn't held wriggling right in front of its nose, it couldn't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joze Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 they were thrust on me by the local school as they had, had them 5 years and were sick of them. I have found the only way to to feed them was reptile sticks (still on small container bought 12 months ago) and the odd bit of liver, these two are really lethargic feeders so I feed them once a week if I remember. A good source of saprophytic nematode (those horrible little white worms) for the tropicals. The axolotyl tank is chokker with java fern and java moss (I still think it grows like a weed) and when I feed them I tear a bit off the moss and drop it in the other tanks. Ever seen java moss attacked en masse? I then replace a bit as the axolotyl tank temp (18c) doesnt encourage it to grow. If these worms are caused by overfeeding, how often am I suppose to feed/starve them. My mother swears I am starving them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
