[daniellaxx]

I have a baby axolotl, and was just wondering what to feed him right now, I don't think he is eating the brineshrimp I give him anymore, could someone please help me and give me some tip's, im new to caring for baby axolotls, and want to be able to breed in the future.
& im not to sure how old he is, if anyone could tell roughly that would be great!
Thankyou.

Daphnia are great as they are also freshwater and will just swim about untill eaten.
You could try cutting up some bloodworm and feeding that but really the daphnia is the easiest and they are quite cheap!

awsum, getting on that right now thanks so much!!
what about earthworms, if I cut them up? 2 big?

Earthworm are way too big at the minute.

At that age they need live food as they are too small to smell out food.
Baby brine or daphnia are your best foods at that size

thankyou, I got daphnia for him, and feed it to him yesterday and today but I do not think he is eating it at all.

Take a picture of him from above.
Should be able to see if he's eating.

**edit** just seen you asked how old we think he is also. I don't even see front legs so i'd say only a couple of weeks old.
Did you buy him from somewhere. I wouldn't have let him go at that age he's far too small.
