Hi All,

I am responsible for providing care to a collection of tiger salamanders and I wanted to ask if there has been any consensus regarding the regimen for calcium and vitamin supplementation. It was highly controversial over the past decade when I was working with chameleons.

Currently we feed the salamanders a variety of bugs with the following supplement schedule:
Monday: Calcium w/ D3
Wednesday: Calcium w/ D3
Friday: Repashy Supervite

However, it’s my current understanding that amphibians in general should get calcium with vitamin d3 as well as something like Herptivite multivitamin. What is the state of the science in supporting the calcium supplementation schedule for tiger salamanders?

Thanks in advance!

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
