Well here I am with another feeding related question, hopefully you'll understand I just want to clarify what I've been reading on all these caresheets. Here's my question - How much is too much?
I've noticed Tiger Salamanders have the tendancy to become obese due to over feeding, and I wouldn't want to make that mistake. Keeping in mind he's a Juvenile (about 5 inches from head to tip of tail) that he's probably recently metamorphosised, he's eaten one 3 inch red/earth worm each day. Although today he's eaten two (about the same length as the others) in a short period of time.
Is this too much? Too little? Should I cut them up more so he can better digest them? I realise I need to vary his diet abit more but I've not gotten a chance and I'm pretty sure a week of worms won't do him harm. Thanks for any replies.
