Hi, I'm new to this site, and I must say I love seeing that I'm not the only one that loves these little critters!
I have 3 Tiger (or maybe they're spotted) salamanders. When I was young I used to rescue them from all the neighborhood window wells and I finally have some to keep. I thought my 7 yo son would love them as much as I do, but not so much. Everyone else thinks I'm crazy!
Anyway, to my question... I feed them worms, waxies occassionally and I've also been catching grasshoppers in the yard. I would think grasshoppers would be good for them, but after reading some other posts, I noticed that people haven't mentioned them as food choices. Are grasshoppers OK to feed?
All 3 of mine (1 big and 2 little) come popping out of their burrows when they hear me, or the worm can, I think they are adorable and recently bought a larger herp haven for them!
I have to leave in a short while, but I'll be checking back. Just from the quick browsing I did, the information on this site is wonderful!!
