Obese Axolotls

[blinky000]

My guys and girls are in serious need of a diet. They've been living with my dad for a few years because I've not had the space for them and after about 6 months, I visited them for the first time and they were COLOSSAL I asked dad what he'd been feeding them. Turns out they'd been eating nothing but ox liver. So I chastised him, bought some proper pellets and thought that'd be the end of it.
Well, they're coming home tomorrow so I asked dad if I'd need to buy them any more food, and it turns out he's STILL been feeding them ox liver! And don't even get me started on me telling him the difference between the sexes and them still living together...
So now I have 5 obese axolotls who are desperately in need of a treadmill or something. But how do you diet an axolotl? I have pellets for them but how much shall I cut their intake to?

Feed each adult 1 (ONE) earth worm every other day. That is a nice perfect portion and schedule for you to feed them. you can buy two dozen or so from a bait shop (no risk of pesticides/fertilizers) for about $3 dollars.

Fast them for 1 or 2 days (im kinda afraid fasting axolotl for 2 days) and feed them little bits of food Hope this helps

If my male put's too much weight on(Example: when my mum feeds him for about 2 weeks) I fast him for 3 days then I feed him 1(ONE) cube of bloodworm for about 1 week every 2 days. This has kept at a healthy weight. Hope this helps.
