Live Blackworms

Live blackworms are a nutritious, protein-rich live food for axolotls that encourages natural hunting and feeding behavior. Also known as California blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus), they are a popular choice for growing axolotls, selective eaters, and owners who want to provide more variety in their axolotl’s diet. Choose from multiple sizes for a single axolotl, multiple animals, or a larger breeding collection.

Keep live blackworms refrigerated in a shallow container of clean, cold, dechlorinated water. Refresh the water regularly, remove debris, and rinse the worms thoroughly before feeding. Offer only an appropriate amount and remove uneaten food as needed to maintain aquarium water quality. Do not add the shipping water to your aquarium.
