Hello all,

I need urgent help/information! I have 14 newly morphed European Fire Salamanders. They all have morphed at different rates. The oldest of them will be morphed for 7 days on Saturday, 04/26/14. I have tried numerous ways to get them to eat. I've only had one so far that ate one single blood worm and nothing since from any of them. I need to know how long it will be before I should expect them to begin to eat! I'm so afraid that they will not make it. I've brought them so far that I don't want to lose them now.

Please someone tell me how long newly morphed Fires will go before they eat. Also, please if anyone knows any tricks to make feeding easier then I will be so grateful.

I've tried feeding them bloodworms, cut up night crawlers, fly larvae, and even a small cricket. I use tweezers to try to feed them but not luck yet.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help!
