After the salamanders are caught, they can be kept in large glass fish tanks to facilitate observation of their activities. The bottom of the tank is covered with washed sand and gravel, 30 cm deep pool water or well water is injected, and a small amount of aquatic plants such as goldfish algae are put in, and the ecological environment is similar to that of the fishing site. Sand and gravel have the effect of adsorbing dirt; Aquatic plants can photosynthesize, increase the oxygen content in the water, and provide salamanders with eggs.
Clean pond water is preferred, and well water is also suitable. If you use tap water, you can only use it after 3 to 5 days, otherwise the chlorine gas retained in the tap water will cause salamander poisoning and death. Changing the water is a regular management task.
Keeping the water fresh and clean is conducive to the normal life of salamanders. The water is changed every 2 3 weeks in winter and every 3 5 days in other seasons.
Salamanders like to eat live animals. Earthworms are ideal feed, and a small amount can be added every other day; You can also put the earthworm into a single layer of gauze to wrap it, and hang it in the water with a rope, the earthworm will stick out part of its body from the gap in the gauze, and the salamander will swim to pull food. In addition, tadpoles, babies, and daphnia are also salamanders' favorite foods.
When small animals are inactive, lean pork can also be cut into small pieces and fed. However, care should be taken not to feed too much, and it is advisable to have no residual food to prevent food from rotting and affecting water quality.

Salamanders spend the winter in the water, so the winter wintering method is similar to that of water turtles. Put a heating rod in the water and adjust it to about 28 degrees. It is best to landscaping with water and land.
The water temperature is 28 degrees, and the feeding is normal in winter. Feed the little bread worms and you're good to go. Feed the fish when they are older.
Will swallow whole.
-
When the water dries up or there is thin ice on it, it often lies dormant among aquatic plants, under rocks, or even moves to land, where it sleeps in tree hollows or cracks in the ground for the winter.
-
Plant some aquatic plants, lay some stones on the bottom, and they will overwinter in it.
Below 20 degrees, you can feed less or even no feeding.
Mine is an Oriental salamander, and the coldest water temperature dropped to 8 degrees Celsius in the heavy snow last year, and it was safe to come over anyway.

Salamanders are easy to raise.
You only need to prepare a relatively high glass jar with more than half of the water in it, and then put a stone so that the stone is just a little above the water.
It is better to make a gauze lid and place it on the top of the tank to prevent the salamanders from escaping, and it is also easy to change the water, and the number of raisers is preferred, if there are too many of them, there will be a group armed conflict, because they have no teeth, but there will be cases where large individuals will devour small individuals, so the number should not exceed four.
Salamanders are nocturnal creatures, they need to put the fish tank in a darker place, and their eating habits are also more mixed, and they can feed bread, crickets, small fish and shrimp, small snails, etc.
The habits of salamanders
Salamanders live in and around puddles, ponds or paddy fields in hilly swamps, hibernate in soil crevices or under rocks near water areas from October to March, and in puddles or rice fields with abundant aquatic plants on mountain sides from March to September.
Like other amphibians, they rely on ** to absorb water, so they need a humid living environment, and after the ambient temperature reaches below zero degrees Celsius, they will go into hibernation.
Salamanders crawl very slowly on the surface, in trees, and underground on their short fours, and they can walk on the muddy surface of the bottom of the pond with their forefeet or toes, and swing their tails to speed up their walks.

For the selection of salamanders, the first thing to do is to choose a good salamander species, preferably the one with better health. Of course, we must also pay attention to the appearance, color and body shape characteristics of the salamander species, and we must grasp it, otherwise it will be embarrassing to pick the kind of health that is not good. For example, if the response is slower, try not to choose, because it is very likely that there is no spirituality or there is some underlying disease.
The second is the question of how to transport the selected salamander home, because the salamander is a creature that can be easily injured and damaged during transportation. If you're not sure, you can ask the owner of the aquarium to pack the salamander and send it back, even if you pay a little for shipping, to ensure that your salamander arrives home safely.
The second is the setting of the growth environment of the salamander, for example, whether the container for raising salamanders is a small aquarium or a large fish tank. For the placement of utensils in the aquarium, you can generally arrange some pebbles and the like, of course, you can put a stone shoal.
For the water change in the aquarium, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, and you can use mountain spring water if the economic conditions in the home support it (relatively pure, and the salamanders are easy to survive). Of course, if you want to pay attention to the tap water, you can leave it for a day or two to remove the chlorine in it and then change the water.
For the feeding of salamanders, common bloodworms and small fish and shrimp can be used in general, which is more suitable for the appetite of salamanders, especially for the taste of the public. Generally, there are aquariums and pet markets.
For the transition of the season of salamanders, it is generally necessary to pay attention to shading in summer, because salamanders are relatively thin, otherwise it is easy to cause salamanders due to high water temperature.

Raising salamanders requires the use of water with chlorine removed, as well as filtration to keep the water quality from deteriorating. The temperature is around 10 25 degrees, which can make the salamander eat normally, but it is necessary to avoid the temperature difference between day and night becoming larger. When raising salamanders, you can feed bloodworms, small fish and shrimp and other foods, and avoid salamanders from basking in the sun, which will lead to sunburn.
When raising salamanders, it is necessary to use water that has been dried in addition to chlorine, and in order to ensure the water quality of salamanders, it is also necessary to use filtration to absorb the dirt in the water, and regularly clean the filter cotton.
Keeping the temperature at about 10 25 degrees Celsius can make the salamander eat normally, but the temperature difference between day and night should not be too large, otherwise it will cause the salamander to get sick or make the salamander eat less.
When feeding salamanders, you can feed some bloodworms, small fish and shrimp, etc., and clean them up as soon as possible to avoid deterioration.
Hedgehogs need to hibernate in winter, and when they hibernat, they will occasionally wake up, but they will not eat, they will fall asleep quickly, and if they wake up too early, they will starve to death. Domestic hedgehogs need to prepare insulation equipment, you can get a cardboard box and spread hay in it, and then add a warmer. >>>More

It's very simple, if you have meat and potatoes at dinner, give the little hedgehog a little, 40 grams is enough. Prepare a cardboard box for it, preferably with a box for a TV, or without a shoebox. Give it water every day until it doesn't drink. >>>More
