Premium Live Worms for Axolotls (Dendrobaena) Fresh, Clean & Organic – The Perfect Staple Diet

Give your Axolotl the nutrition they deserve with our premium, UK-grown Dendrobaena worms. Widely recognised by vets and breeders as one of the best staple foods for amphibians, these worms offer a complete nutritional package without the mess of pellets.

Raised in a controlled environment in Huddersfield, our worms are 100% organic and free of pesticides, fertilisers, and other harmful chemicals—ensuring they are perfectly safe for your sensitive aquatic pets.

Why Dendrobaenas are the Best Choice:

• Complete Nutrition: High in protein and low in fat, they provide the energy your Axolotl needs for growth and regeneration.

• Triggers Hunting Instincts: Unlike frozen food, these live worms wiggle vigorously in the water, stimulating your pet’s natural urge to hunt.

• Cleaner Water: Dendrobaenas are aquatic-tolerant. They stay alive underwater much longer than earthworms, meaning they won't rot and foul your tank water if not eaten immediately.

• Versatile: Suitable for adult Axolotls (fed whole) or juveniles (easily chopped to size).

Hand-Packed & Guaranteed: We pick your order fresh from the bed. Whether you need a 50g trial pack or a 1kg bulk supply, we ship them in breathable packaging with a Live Arrival Guarantee.

Pro Tip: Is your Axolotl a Fussy Eater?

Dendrobaena worms sometimes release a natural yellow fluid when stressed, which some Axolotls find bitter. If your pet spits the worm out, don't worry!

• The Rinse Trick: Simply rinse the worm under cold tap water for a few seconds before feeding to wash away the secretion.

• The Blanch Method: For very sensitive eaters, dip the worm in hot water for 3 seconds, then cool it down. This removes the taste entirely and stops the wiggling, making it an easy meal for younger Axolotls.
