I have a cave salamander (long tail salamander) that is a baby to about the size of a juvenile. I have been trying to feed him/her bloodworms and rubbing it on his/her nose but they have yet to take it. I also tried crickets as well, still nothing. Is there a way I can feed the salamander or at least convince it? Every time I try to feed him/her, they either raise they head and ignore it or slowly walk or swim away.

Help me, they have gone without eating for about 3 days. I am hoping the bloodworms did not sink to the bottom of the container and he/she ate some. .
 
If it is a wild caught animal, it may be a little too stressed to eat...especially after having its nose rubbed in it :/ I would add lots of small worms, small woodlice etc and leave alone to settle.

How are you keeping it?
 
I have it in a tub with lots of rocks and a level amount of water. A tub is all I have at the moment.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
