I'm raising a dozen baby fire salamanders.
They're eating nicely and seem to be doing well.
However some have cloudy looking eyes - almost like cataracts.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be and how I can treat it?
Thanks Jonny

the only thing i can think of is corneal lipidosis, which is caused by a high fat diet. but this would be a strange diagnosis since you are feeding crickets.
are you sure its not becuase they need to shed? if humidity is not high enough the skin can get stuck on their bodies and over their eyes and build up.
pics would help
