While live Dendrobaena worms are the gold standard for any axolotl, we always keep a tub of NT Labs Pro-F Pellets on hand at the farm. They are the ultimate "safety net" for busy days and a brilliant way to ensure your axie gets a fully rounded nutritional profile.
These quick-sinking pellets have been specifically formulated for the unique digestive systems of axolotls, newts, and African Clawed Frogs.
Why we use NT Labs Pro-F:
High Palatability: Infused with fish meal and fish oils, these have a strong scent that triggers a snapping response in even the fussiest eaters.
Immune Support: Includes Stimmune, a health-boosting ingredient that helps your axolotl fight off infections and stay in peak condition.
Low Waste: Highly digestible ingredients mean less mess in your tank and clearer water for longer.
Complete Nutrition: Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals that can sometimes be missing from a single-food diet.
Which size do I need?
Junior (1.5mm): Ideal for smaller, growing juveniles (under 6 inches). These smaller bites are easier for young axies to swallow safely.
Adult (3mm): A substantial, protein-packed pellet for sub-adults and fully grown adults.
How to Feed
We recommend feeding these as a nutritious supplement or a convenient alternative to our Live Yorkshire Dendrobaena Worms. Simply drop a few pellets near your axolotl; they will sink quickly to the bottom where your axie can easily "vacuum" them up. Remove any uneaten pellets after 20 minutes to keep your water chemistry stable.
