i have tonsa redbacked salamders that i catch all over around here and im have trouble knowing if ther eating or not

what is there primary source of food?

i throw little baby red worms in there and i actualy have worms living in that tank with them . i keep the worms for snake food and intend on the salamders eating the little worms .

im not sure if there eating or not. there so many worms scattered out underneath em i cant tell . i threw baby crickets in there too and most are missing but i cant tell if they died n rotted or mixed in with the soil n moss substrate i have in there .they aqppear to be doing fine , i have a perfect mixture of substrate and stuff to hide under and plant life ass well. i keep about 2-3 inches of soil mixed with bed-a-beast bedding and imake sure it stays cool and moist so they dont fry up



anybody have redbackked salamders? are these type kept alot as pets ?



and my main question , what do i feed them ?

thanx - ryan
