Cloverleaf Baby Axolotl & Frog Diet 2mm Sinking Pellet 100g

A high-protein sinking pellet diet formulated specifically for baby axolotls and aquatic frogs. Designed for bottom-feeding species that need nutrient-dense food delivered where they naturally feed, this 2mm pellet offers a nutritional profile comparable to live foods — without the parasite and bacterial contamination risk that live prey carries.

Protein-First Formulation

At 54% crude protein, this diet is built around the high demands of growing axolotls and frogs. A fat content of 15% supports healthy development, while crude fibre is kept low at 1.5% — appropriate for carnivorous amphibians with limited ability to process plant matter. Ash sits at 8.3%, with calcium at 1.6% and total phosphorus at 1.19%, supporting skeletal development in juveniles.

Vitamin and Trace Element Profile

• Vitamin A: 11,999 IE/kg
• Vitamin D3: 732 IE/kg
• Vitamin E: 240 mg/kg
• Stable Vitamin C: 675 mg/kg
• Copper: 5.5 mg/kg
• Iodine: 5.5 mg/kg
• Iron: 66 mg/kg
• Manganese: 22 mg/kg
• Zinc: 99 mg/kg

Energy Density

Gross energy comes in at 21.1 MJ/kg, with a digestible energy value of 17.9 MJ/kg — meaning a meaningful proportion of what goes in is actually utilised by the animal, rather than passing through and fouling the water.

Pellet Behaviour in Water

The 2mm sinking pellet size is appropriate for baby axolotls and smaller frog species. Once submerged, the pellets absorb water and soften quickly while holding their shape, which reduces waste and keeps water clouding to a minimum. Feed twice daily, offering only as much as your animal will consume within a few minutes.

For keepers raising juvenile axolotls or aquatic frogs, this diet removes the unpredictability of live feeding while delivering a nutritionally complete, correctly sized meal that reaches the bottom of the tank where it is needed.
