My newts are eating frozen blood-worms, but where are pet/fish stores where I can pick some up locally, don't really like the shipping process, much rather prefer picking them up locally or semi/locally (1-2 hours) that I can get the live blood-worms and black-worms? Thanks for reading!
 
Best thing would be to search all near by pet stores and ask about black worms. Obviously not all pet stores carry black worms due to lack of demand and high maintenance. A good substitute would be white worms. You could culture those and have tons for very low cost.
 
Check with local kilifish breeders. Killifish breeders usually know where to purchase live foods.

This being a 4-yr-old thread, I'm taking a stab to ask if you still have blackworms? I'm not sure how to PM here yet. Thanks (if you see this! ;)

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
