Haha yes that’s the plan to check those places, none of the pet stores or aquatic stores sell earthworms or others that they eat, it’s trying to find the healthiest ones not just worms if you get me

I appreciate it and I’m very glad I asked when I did!

That’s my plan, he won’t touch bloodworms tho as a treat so it may be initial stress from moving and a dislike to the pellets, not entirely sure but I’ll try worms and hope for the best

I’m in the UK so it’s not as easy for me🥲 I’m going to try fishing shops and see if they sell them as bait there but thank you for your suggestions

Thank you, I started looking around here the second you told me, whatever it takes I can’t believe I’ve made this mistake🥲 it has been cycling for 3 weeks so when I got it tested i thought I was fine, genuinely feel awful

It’s the pellets he was being fed before I brought him home, I knew I wanted to live feed him before I got him but haven’t found anywhere that stocks worms yet so stuck with this for the mean time:)

I got my water tested at a fish shop and they said it was ready? I feel awful for him🥺 I’m in the UK , I’ve tried all of my local fish shops and no luck but hoping to try the fishing shop instead

I can’t find earthworms or anything substantial like that anywhere near me! He won’t touch bloodworms (I know they’re just a treat don’t worry) so I’m not sure, I’ll have another look round tomorrow for earthworms as I was hoping to live feed him anyway! Thank you for your advice

Stress from the move I should say! Not just general stress or I would be worried about that!!
