    Re: salamander and minnow diet

    I hope your able to get him to eat. Mine didnt eat for over a month when I got him then just last Sunday I bought him some Minnows and put them in a bowl and he ate them suckers up. Last night I gave mine a pinky for the first time and 4 minnows and he ate everything. Mine likes movement. lol

    Re: salamander and minnow diet

    A pair of reptile tongs or hemostats are a good investment.

    I have many little garters that will not eat unless I shake the food for them in front of their nose.

    It's called "tease feeding"
