My axolotl is feeding off of bloodworms so far. I know you're supposed to feed them at least twice a day. I feed her after school which is around 4:00 pm. I then feed her around 9-10 pm before I go to bed. I'm not sure if I overfed her around 4 or if the times are too close together for another feeding, but I found thrown-up bloodworms in the morning. On the weekends I feed her in the morning (around 9 am) and evening (around 7-10 pm) and she's fine and properly digest and poops the food out.

How do you think I should go portioning her food on weekdays? I've just been feeding her until she refuses to eat anymore. She eats about half a cube around 4. And only a tad bit around 8-10.

FYI: I use the cubed bloodworms (more circular) but have around the same amount of worms.
She's a juvenile around 3 inches

feeding her as much as she'll eat once a day is fine. Twice a day feedings are more for hathclings. At her size, once a day isn't going to hurt her.
