How To Feed a Fussy Baby Axolotl
Lucky has been eating well for the last day, which is reassuring to me. I can now see that the other baby Axoltls, Precious and Heidi, are getting a little more filled out in the body compared to him. I'm not sure if this is because technically they are a little older than Lucky, so a little more developed, or just because they like their food more!
To encourage Lucky to eat, I moved him into a much smaller jar. This allowed me to chase him around with the food a bit more easily, because he couldn't dart away quite so far! Then with some patience, he ate twice yesterday (some chopped up bloodworm).
I'm not sure if he is timid, and darting away from foreign objects that come near him as a survival skill, or if he is just a fussy eater!
