I have 3 tiger salamanders, They have stopped eating for at least a week if not more before. I have had them for 9 years, it used to worry me, but they are still going strong. I know they are not the same as yours, but Most don't need to eat often, they can go a week or two without eating. They can easily be stressed, temp., movement, etc. which will make them not eat. If he still looks healthy give him a couple of days he should eat again.

I have one who wants to eat all of the time. One nightcrawler after another. The other two only eat every couple of days at most.

Hi kate, you might be needing a water change/cleaning as well as some different foods. Try chopped nightcrawler.
