>>The only trouble with crickets in this instance would be that if the tiger doesn't eat them, they will die and foul the tank or water dish, or possibly even attack the salamander. I feed my tigers crickets all the time, but I watch to be sure they eat them all; this might not be a good idea with a skittish new animal.>>

I wouldn't worry about the cricket attacking the salamander. I have seen one tiger salamander bite another (by accident), and the bitten salamander sometimes returns the favor by biting back. The cricket is history if the salamander bites back.
