Idea for tiger salamander

[maelstrom]

hello all i was wondering if it was possible to feed a tiger salamander pieces of cooked turkey and or cooked pieces of turkey gizzards? im running low on food and was thinking =O(shockingly) lol please let me know if it is possible that way the crickets and earthworms i do have will last longer

I have no clue about the cooked part but I do feed my larger salamanders various peices of raw meat on occasion.

 

[maelstrom]

should it only be red meat or is chicken turkey and pork ok too?

 

[maelstrom]

Tiger salamanders don't usually prey on cows in the wild.

You can feed large tigers pinkies ( baby mice) but only once in a while. Large amounts of meat can be unhealthy for them leading to obesity.

I dont think its legal to keep tigers in alberta? And how would you get one to eat ground beef?

 

[DeCypher]

It sounds like something worth trying! As somebody else said, don't feed too much meat like that or they'll get overweight.

As far as I've heard Tigers are legal in Alberta. They are a non-license animal and non-licensed animals are able to be bought and sold and kept legally. This information came from the TARAS, The Alberta Reptile and Amphibian Society. Alberta Reptile Laws - The Alberta Reptile and Amphibian Society This is a thread containing information on Alberta's Reptile laws. There's a link there that leads to the official Legislation on the matter. I've never seen any proof that Tigers are illegal in Alberta other then people just saying they are but I've never seen anyone provide any information to back up what they are saying is true.
