I agree that it will not hurt to let it settle for a few days. Tiger salamanders are voracious feeders, but they don't get to feed regularly most of the year since they are often forced underground by prolonged dry seasons over much of their ranges. Tiger salamanders will eat earthworms or just about anything that moves, but crickets seem to be an important part of their diet in the wild.
