I've got a few recently "transformed" marbled salamanders and I was having some trouble feeding the little fellas. They're still tiny and spend a bit of time in the water (tail is still paddle-like) but for some reason they seem to have grown tired of blackworms. All of the larvae eat blackworms and tiny aquatic inverts just fine. I've offered pin-head crickets and black worms daily but they just aren't interested. I'm not sure if I can get earth worms small enough for them right now. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
