im lookin after a marble salamander for my mate thats gone travellin for 3 months.
but it hasnt eaten for roughly a month! she went through everything with me, like mistin the tank and not lettin it get too hot or cold. ive been feedin it a mixture of crickets, mealworms and wax worms,2 a day (not of each) like i was told. everythin was goin smoothly for the 1st month, now its gone down hill. ive tried rubbin the worms on his mouth to tempt him but havent had any luck.
he was really chubby when i got him but now hes gone alittle wrinkly.
PLEASE any advise u could give id be soo grateful !

i have posted this on the amphibian forum earlier in the day but not had anythin back yet

Oh dear that's a bit of a toughie! Have you tried contacting your friend to see has he ever gone off food like that before? I can't help I'm afraid but I hope somebody else can advise you!

I have newts... they are kinda similar. Sometimes my newts wont eat for a few weeks at a time as well. You just need to be patient and keep trying. xx
