Question: Sal. not eating???

[dancefree]

Hello all, yesterday i found a jefferson salamander (i think) on my driveway. He has a very nice habitat and seems to be adjusting fairly well to our family, although when i put worms near him, he doesnt even bother with them. i will be going to the pet stire tomorrow to get crickets, but other than that, does anyone else have any suggestions? btw, he is abot two inches long, and brown with some faint darker brown spots.

salamander and newts take sometime to get use to a new environment. When i first got my tiger salamander from my in laws, they were feeding him crickets. I started him on a diet of night crawlers and he's grown a lot in the past year and a half.
