I recently collected some eggs thinking they were frog eggs only to later find out they are salamander eggs - spotted salamanders I think.
They are hatching now and I am a little unsure what to feed them.
I asked at a good fish store. They seemed to think brine shrimp would be too small for the little 1/2 inch larva and suggested blackworms, which I got. I also bought some frozen bloodworms since if the little larva will eat them they will be easier to feed than the blackworms.
The problem is the larva don't show interest in eating. It's been almost 2 days since the first two hatched and I thought they would be ready to eat by now.
Is it better to put in lots of food so it is easier to find, or just a little to prevent spoilage? I havn't dared put in more than 3 tiny blackworm pieces since they don't seem to be eating yet.
