HOW do you feed your axolotl?

[Aaliyahsutton]

Do you just dump some worms in the tank or hand feed them? I've tried dumping food in tank but because I've got sand and large rocks the food gets stuck and I'm too scared to hand feed them because I have a reallly greedy and feisty axolotl he'll prolly end up chewing my whole finger lol.
I have two juvenile axolotl and I take my axolotl out everyday or every other day ( depending on how busy I am, I sometimes I feed them every other day I know That's cruel but I doubt they eat everyday in the wild so eh whatever) I put them in a plastic box put food in there and leave it for an hour so any food they don't eat can be taken out easily, but now I'm finding this difficult cus my axolotl are growing it's very hard to take them out with a fish net because they fidget so much I always get scared they migh jump out of the net as I'm trying to take them out.
Also is it okay to take them out every single day to feed them? Any other ways I could feed them??? ( i think I've added a photo of the box I put them in, is it okay?)

This is my first post but here are some ideas!
Use a small dish (something water safe, I like glass) the small Pyrex glass dishes or something similar, that is what I use in my sand/rock tank. This is nice because it is less messy and you can see how much food is consumed very easily.

Use a turkey baster, this doesn't always work for pellets, but you can put your other food items in a small dish of water, suck up the foods with turkey baster, squeeze the food into your tank/feeding are with turkey baster. This keeps food from going all over the place and this is a great alternative to direct hand feeding if you are skiddish.

You can also use tongs for worms but they, once again, don't really work for pellets.

As far as taking your axie out every day to feed...I have had to do this with babies to feed them brine shrimp, however, I don't usually use a fish net. If you want an easier way to transfer your axie, try using a cup/container to scoop them out. This way they never have to leave the water and it seems to be less stressful.
Sorry for the long reply, if you have any questions or any of that seems confusing let me know. There are always other ways though, people come up with some really creative ideas when it comes to these little guys.

Like Cloppy, I pretty much just drop a worm in the tank.
