How to feed the babies!?

it would be great if you could help me out. what they eat, how often. I am feeding them baby brine shrimp and they seem to have full bellies! yay! but I'm only feeding them a little once a day. there are about 30 to 40 hatchlings oxox
 
Baby brine shrimp are good, I used daphnia of various sizes. I would feed them at least twice a day. With the daphnia, you can basically dump a whole bunch in and let them eat at their own pace, since daphnia live in the water (at least until they're eaten

If you are in the US/Canada, find a source of live blackworms. These are the easiest thing to raise them on, in my opinion. For hatchlings, you have to chop the blackworms. See:

One quick tip: when posting questions about axolotls, you'll get a lot more response if you post in the axololt section of the forum.
