Is it normal for fire salamanders to eat less/refuse food for a full day right after metamorphosis?

Hiya,

I have been feeding frozen bloodworm and recently, after John's advice also some tubifex (the only annelid food I could find, no shops seem to stock blackworm in my city due to the pandemic). I found a shop which can supply earthworms, but not till Thursday.
My two oldest salamanders are metamorphosing right now, one is pretty much done. They've been eating much less and the metamorphosed one refused food all day today (ate twice yesterday). I know they'll need way less food as adults, I just want to make sure he's not gonna starve. Hopefully he'll take some food tomorrow.

Their new half terrestrial enclosure is going to be ready soon, just waiting for the silicone to set :)
