Not a problem Joe.

I have no idea why he would react that way to your attempted feeding. Did you do anything that could have spooked him?

Bloat disease is typically fatal in salamanders. For ideas on what to do when an animal has bloat you can read the website http://www.caudata.org/cc/. I believe they have an article or on their FAQ about bloat that will tell you ideas for how to treat it. I do not believe feedings would need any changing.

If you would like more people's input check out http://www.caudata.org. It is an online forum dedicated to just newts and salamanders.

>>Rob, Thanks again for your replys. I stopped all goldfish and purchased frozen blood worms, but when I tried to feed him he lost all sence of his equilibrium and banged all over the tank. After about 1-2min on his back and all curled up he got calmed down. If this is that bloating Disease how long does it last? What do i need to due for him? and , while he is like this is the feeding times different?
