How to Care for a Pet Tiger Salamander : Selecting Food for Tiger Salamanders

[nerdyfatkid36]

I feed my fat tail geckos 3 superworms about every week.. is that OK

[Catolf]

@nerdyfatkid36 if they are adults you should be feeding that every other day, your starving them.

If they are babies as long as they are copped up, it's about right.

[BackYardBeaVer]

No don't feed it superworms they can bite feed it crickets and mealworms for a baby feed it 5 crickets 10 small mealworms for a adult feed it every other day

[drabramow]

Do you feed baby or adult crickets

[MichaelAndJohnny]

@drabramow depends on how big your pet is

[styles895]

dude thx for all the help on all the vids

[greendayhieu]

u can feed slamanders mealworms there whole life, thier exoskeleton is the SAME as a cricket's exskeleton. they CAN NOT get impcated from mealworms

[QuietRiot91]

@greendayhieu

Actually its not. Meal worms have been known to cause impaction problems. And if you feel meal worms...you'll notice that their outter shell is a lot harder then a cricket's shell.

[greendayhieu]

@QuietRiot91 they hav never been known t2 cause impaction EVER

[QuietRiot91]

@greendayhieu A friend of mine had a tiger sally and it apparently died from impaction caused by too many meal worms. And in the video, an "expert" says that meal worms can cause impaction. I don't think he would have said it for nothing. :)

[MrMMABoy]

how many should you feed them a day?

[TechnicsWithLogan]

i realy want one of these. so far i have crested gecko but i love herps

[CnTcorp]

[Mixjefra54]

But don't you dip them in something first?!?! I'm considering buying a tiger salamander, but i'm trying to get research in first. :)

[salamanderkid666]

i know its been a while so u either let it go, figured out wut 2 do, or it died but earthworms are happily accepted by almost all reptiles and amphibians, tho large ones may need to be cut for that little guy

[SlimTwisted]

They do well with small earth worms and slugs as well.
