Axolotl food

[white specter crayfish]

i have two axolotls, can I feed them shrimp because earthworms are very expensive from local stores and it’s very dry since it’s summer so it’s hard to find worms and my axolotl sure eat about 2 of them daily. Would repashy morning wood be beneficial to feed them as well? I know a lot of fish can benefit from some sort of plant matter

Repashy grub pie would be better for them. A lot of repashy has plant matter.

Dried Kelp, Dried Watermelon, RoseHips, Hibiscus Flower, Marigold Flower

I have morning wood for my plecos, I was wondering if it would just be beneficial to feed some of the left overs to them or not for extra nutrition

Based on the ingredients, and what is considered good for axo's on that other website, I would not feed the morning wood, since it is devoid of "meat protein" that's best for them.

INGREDIENTS: Cellulose Powder, Dried Seaweed Meal, Alfalfa Leaf Meal, Spirulina Algae, Rice Protein Concentrate, Pea Protein Isolate, Stabilized Rice Bran, Dried Brewer’s Yeast, Dried Kelp, Stinging Nettle, Locust Bean Gum, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Citrate, Malic Acid, Taurine, Garlic, Watermelon, RoseHips, Hibiscus Flower, Calendula Flower, Marigold Flower

WHy not saltwater table shrimp? That’s what I’ve fed them for awhile when I can’t find worms and they love them

To much salt long term for an amphibian,which tend to be more sensitive than fish to such things.

Ok, what if I thaw them out first and soak them in water? They’re table shrimp

That won't do much salt wise, so wouldn't be as good.

Why not set up a worm farm?

I did and they died and rotted and smelled, how would I set up a worm farm?
