How can I support a bug habitat?

I would think you need to research the types of bugs you want to keep in there, some may want to eat others, some may need warmer climates, others may need wetter ones, you need to do your research and find ones compatible and then go accordingly. You also want to research the salamander you want and what it takes to maintain and if they are compatible with the types of bugs you want to keep.

Yes, as @creative1 says. You must decide on a species and then research it’s particular needs/requirements.

My daughter kept Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches for years. They were actually very interesting. They feed primarily on organic materials, fruits, veggies, and she kept them housed in an aquarium with pine shavings for bedding and hiding places, like toilet paper tubes and pieced of upside down bark.

They did, however need to be dusted with a mite powder now and then and I think she also added a vitamin powder to their fruit. All I know is they thrived for EVER! lol

We had knotty pine floors at the time and I was always freaking out thinking that one of the dark knotholes was an escaped giant roach. haha

Salamanders are generally rather delicate creatures and cant live with most bugs because they will either a) eat them or b) be picked apart by them. Theyre also extremely reclusive animals so you will see it next to never.

This is fun stuff!

Salamanders are aquatic and semi aquatic animals so I would set up the habitat with aquatic insects. Half of the habitat would be water and half land. If your “glass cage” will not hold water then maybe use a class bowl or jars. In the water area put aquatic insects that are scavengers like “Water Boatmen” (Family Corixidae) and “Whirligig Beatles” (Family Gyrinidae). If you don’t mind feeding predatory bugs regularly with insect larvae, and or small fish then consider adding in “Backswimmer”, “Water Scorpions”, “Predacious Diving Beatles”, dragon fly larvae or “Giant Water Bugs”. Also add snails and aquatic plants.

The aquatic insects and plants can be collected from ponds, drainage ditches lakes etc. You’ll need a net, a good eye and quick reflexes. You’ll also likely find many more interesting animals to added to your habitat.

when I first saw this question, I thought it said “how do i support a drug habit?” LOL

I thought it said, “How do I support a bug habit?” YUCK!

Just make a salamander habitat, and feed it small bugs, leaves, etc.
