What do I feed my Fire Salamander?

Question

I am thinking of getting one. Does it eat mice and stuff like that?

Answer 1

Fire salamanders will eat most soft bodied insects. Crickets and small earth worms can make up the majority of their diet. Slugs, wax worms, silkworms, roaches, and small caterpillars can also be offered occasionally. A feeding schedule of three to six feeders every three to five days works well for adult animals. Juveniles should be fed more often. Earth worms, along with other feeders that are likely to burrow into the substrate, should be fed with tweezers or offered in a small dish. Adults should have their food coated with high quality reptile vitamin and mineral supplements once every two to four feedings. Juveniles should have their food supplemented as often as every feeding

Answer 2

Hello, your fire salamander will eat live crickets there are a few different variety of crickets depending on the age and size of your salamander. If it is young I would go for the small brown ones but then every now and again give them the black ones. It needs feeding two crickets every two days.
