Welcome to my sandbox...

From the time a mud salamander is born until adulthood, the amphibian’s diet is quite varied. In the larval stage, the small creatures tend to feed on equally, or smaller, aquatic invertebrates to get the nutrition they require. The salamander larva are also said to consume other salamander larva in order to get their nutrition. An adult however, the salamander’s diet increases much more than what it was. The state of the salamander becomes less fragile than what it was as a larva, but it still sticks to eating smaller prey. Even though not much is known about an adult salamander’s eating habits, it is known that they are likely to feed on earthworms, beetles, spiders, and also even smaller kinds of salamanders. It’s also seen that mud salamanders can eat insects as small as mites to get the nutrition they need as well. What the mud salamander tends to eat however, mainly lies in the habitat that they live in.
