I have the most retarded tiger salamander in the world. He is afraid of crickets! Every time I put a cricket in his cage he runs away from it!
 
The poor thing must be terribly stressed. Provide it with adequate husbandry, and make sure he is cool and in a shady area. Don´t disturb it....it should eventually calm down and focus on eating.
 
Does he eventually end up eating them? I have one Tiger that only eats crickets, if I put anything else in front of him (earthworms, mealworms, waxworms) he turns his head away. My other Tiger will eat anything I put in front of him, and he is the smaller one!

I hope your Tiger likes other food if he is afraid of crickets :)

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
