Hello! I'm Liorah and I recently acquired a juvenile A. gracile salamander who I've totally fallen in love with. I know absolutely nothing about amphibians, I'm not going to lie, but I've been trying to read-up on as much as I can. From what I've deduced through this 'research,' "Eve" is an Ambystoma gracile, and is between 1 and 3 years old.
I'm currently trying to find a food that she will gobble down regularly; she's quite picky So hopefully tomorrow's splurge on meal worms and earthworms will prove fruitful! The man at the pet store said I had a few weeks to get her to eat something before I needed to start being severely worried; does this sound accurate? (He was wrong about a lot when it came to my little girl originally, so I'm getting second opinions on everything he says ) I think though that now that her tank has been modified she might be more willing to eat something. (See: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f1173-...-feeding-tips-juvenile-ambystoma-gracile.html And feel free to offer opinions!! I really want to make sure she's as happy, healthy, and content as can be!)
So far I've found this forum incredibly helpful, and am thrilled to have found it!
