... or whatever you want to call them
.
A couple weeks ago we collected a LOT of them from a fallen tree out back. We have them in 2 critter containers (those little plastic "tanks" for tiny critters) with about 5 inches of garden soil, lots of bark etc. We've been giving them fish flakes and some veggie scraps as recommended on here.
The problem is that we've put a few adults in with the (spotted) salamanders, hoping they'll set up a colony. There's been a few adults hanging out under a piece of bark consistently (the babies seem to go missing pretty quickly), so I put some fish flakes under the log for them. When I checked after only 2 days, the flakes were so completely moldy that I scooped them out, figuring that can't be good for the Sals.
So I guess I'm looking for opinions (did we do something wrong?) and advice on how to let them live in the sal tank, without posing a hazard for my salamanders.
Thank you!
