The Feeding of the Inmates 317 



The smaller salamanders will take earth- 

 worms or very small tadpoles, the larger 

 specimens and varieties take larger tadpoles, 

 small fishes and medium-sized earthworms. 

 Turtles and salamanders can easily be 

 trained so that they will take raw lean meat, 

 cut into thin, wormlike strips, if offered on 

 the point of a small stick. With patience 

 and a little care, most, if not all aquarium 

 inmates, will take nourishment from the fin- 

 gers. Tadpoles will thrive well on any of 

 the previously mentioned fishfoods.
