I don't like to deal with live feeders, so I mostly feed my Tiger salamanders (I have 2) ZooMed's Can O'(whatevers). Mainly the crickets and waxworms (Can O' Pillars), because they aren't really fond of the mealworms, and they spit out the snails. Sometimes I'll dust the bugs with reptile vitamins or calcium powder. I haven't tried giving them pinkies yet, but if I do, it'll be frozen pinkies---I couldn't possibly give them live mousies. They'll eat anything from my hand, I even used to feed them raw hamburger and canned cat food. I use a plastic tweezers now, because they bit me too many times---they don't have teeth, but the edges of their mouths are sharp enough to cut. Whenever they see the yellow tweezers, they start jumping around and biting everything they see, lol. I think I've had them about 10 years now. Amphibeans live a long time.
