The answer to that question depends of the age of the salamander. How younger the salamander, how smaller the food. In most of the cases the larf eats his own eggshell and lives the first week of microorganisms called 'infuus' that lives in water what is already in culture (pond water). After a week the larf starts eating small animals, such as little daphnids or cyclopsen. After two weeks they like larger daphnids and after three or four weeks they are large enough for tubifex or red mosquito larvae. After six up to eight weeks they eat the same as the adult animals, only smaller formats.

Adult salamanders at the water stage eat also the aforesaid food animals completed with rainworms, maggots, and mysis.

'''Salamanders''' '''eat''' worms, ants, Spiders, potato bugs, slugs, mice and rats

Salamanders will eat anything smaller than them, as long as it's alive.
Salamanders are carnivores. They eat insects like a frog does.

Salamanders usually eat smaller animals that live in the pond/habitat or tiny crustaceans.


In most of the cases the young salamander eats his own eggshell and eats microorganisms that live in the water. After two weeks they like larger daphnids and after three or four weeks they are large enough for tubifex or red mosquito larvae.

After six up to eight weeks they eat the same as the adult animals, only in smaller portions.

Adult salamanders in the water eat the above animals along with rainworms, maggots, and mysis.

Adult salamanders in the country eat almost everything what crawls and smaller is than themselves, like fruit flies, spiders, rainworms, maggots, springtails, flour maggots and buffaloworms. Also, you can offer them red mosquito larvae on a wet tissue.
