I've had a two tiger salamanders for almost two years now. One of them I have noticed has gotten what I think is bloated, and would not eat (usually he eats like a pig) I have left him alone for a while and he looks even more bloated. I don't know if he is constipated or what… His movements are somewhat robotic, he is usually very active and I have noticed him just slouching over the water bowl, not being very active, and when he does walk he appears to have a hard time. He is being very lethargic.Is this constipation, or something else? What should I do to fix this? Usually I feed him red worms, or crickets. I did recently change his substrate from one time of co-co fiber to another rainforest type because the pet store didn't carry it anymore, I found the closest one I could to the previous. Any ideas?
