I have had my slimy salamander, named Night Fury, for a couple weeks now, and I have tried several types of food for him, including dried flies from the pet store, small live earthworms, and baby slugs. I've tried feeding him straight from a pair of tweezers with no luck, so now I just place the food in his tank and hope he eats it. So far, it looks like he might have eaten a baby slug, but none of the other foods. What will he definitely eat? Thank you! Here's a pic of my cutie!

What Will My Slimy Salamander Eat?!

Basically small worms, or cut up night crawlers; pill bugs, small insects you might find in its environment, or small bugs and worms that you can cultivate or buy.
He finally took a couple bites of a smallish slug the other day! So now I now he will defintely eat slugs, I just gotta find small enough ones that he will eat in one sitting.

Tiny live prey- I would suggest fruit flies and bean beetles, which are easy to culture at home. Tiny crickets, earthworms, and isopods will probably be eaten as well.
