Hi everyone,

i have a marbled salamander, and i was just wondering if its ok to feed salamanders meal worms or not??

and if not whats the best thing to feed them that's easy to find?

i've done the whole digging in the yard for earth worms thing n if that's what i need to do i will,
but its more then often surprisingly hard to find them and i KNOW where to look i just can't seem to find any,

so i've ended up feeding cricket's a lot (hopefully that's ok i read somewhere it was), but that the moment we're out of cricket's and only have mealie's so i figured i'd ask because that'd make thing's a whole lot easier for now,

thanks for any reply's!

mealworms, bee moths, small crickets, pieces of nightcrawler will all do just fine. The key thing to remember is that it's a salamander-- they can go w/out food for quite some time. Don't panic if it misses a meal or two. i feed my tigers twice a week, and have let them go w/out for several weeks w/ no ill affects whatsoever.
