Got him when he was tiny so as feeding him once a day he's getting big now and was wondering if I should start reducing his feeds to every other day? He is approx 10cms now but hard to measure him obviously!

Mine are about that size and they get fed every 2-3 days.

He should be able to handle a longer time between feeds now, but increase the length slowly and watch him carefully for signs that he might need more.

all of my amphibians including axolotls get fed twice a week, gow up nice and healthy and breed regularly.
The only exception to this is the much more energetic dartfrogs which are fed every second day

Thankss for the advise! I've started feeding him every 2-3 days now and he's still doing fine. Nice and lively!
