Hello, my Barred Tiger Salamander stopped eating 4 weeks ago when he began to morph into an adult. Today, he finished metamorphosis and was moved to a terrestrial enclosure, and still has not eaten one thing.

He would always accept nightcrawlers as a larvae, and I tried crickets today, no luck.

What should I do? Thanks!
 
Sometimes during metamorphosis they can stop eating for a while. I'd leave lots of earthworm in with him, and maybe look in on him in a few days. Could you maybe add a photo of your tiger and its current set up ?
 
Yes, my recently morphed marbled salamanders would not eat for about a week but then I would just put earthworms under the log they were under, and they would eat those. Since then, they have gotten bolder, and will eat out in the open, or by hand feeding.
