My friend just bought a tiger salamander that had recently morphed, but it doesn't appear to be eating. Is there a period that they won't eat and how long would it be? What should he do? I have two adult tigers and love them, but have to admit I don't anything about taking care of them in their earlier stages. Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated.
 
They sometimes go a couple of weeks after morphing before eating.

What kind of foods are you offering? Is it in the tank with your adults? How is the tank set up?
 
No its not in the tank with adults. I have the adults, my friend has the juvenile (sorry for the confusion). The juvenile is set up in a terrarium with coconut fiber and a shallow soaking dish. My friend has tried feeding earthworms and crickets.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
