I have a tiger salamander for about 2 months. Suddenly, on day it stop eating, refusing all cricket i give him. Besides, he's more inactive, don't move a lot, sleep all day, eyes close. I'm worry he's gonna starve to death. What should i do?

 

[kaysie]

he probably wont starve to death. most sals can go for sometimes months without food.

just keep offering him food and he'll get hungry enough and will eat.

Eugene - I wouldn't necessarily take what Kaysie said as being true. How are you keeping this salamander? Is it able to hide and burrow in soil? Are its conditions clean? Is it kept reasonably cool? Have you tried offering it other things apart from crickets?

On top of that, I'd also recommend reading this care sheet: http://www.caudata.org/caudatecentral/caresheets/Ambystoma_tigrinum.html
