Does this little guy look overfed? I probably do, oh well, just joking. I don't think my juvenile axies are overfed but I wanted to check with everyone else. I am hoping to do everything right for them and keep them healthy. I am still learning how to use my digital camera. Here are a few pictures. The pictures are of the same specimen.

Looks well fed to me.
 
Oh, thanks. They look so beautiful and strong in person but I am having trouble capturing it on camera. This is my biggest dark one. I have a couple light colored the same size.
 
A good indicator of a well fed axolotl is when the sides of their body are the same width as the head. I'm not sure you can over feed such a small axolotl. I've raised groups of larvae literally surrounded by live foods and none over ate.
 
I think they look perfect!! They are so adorable to watch grow. I am amazed how FAST mine are growing!!
