fire belly newts?

[muuunkeeyy]

i know these arent fish but maybe someone can help me. i was wondering if anyone on here had fire belly newts that would be able to tell me how to get this particular one to eat. it hasnt been eating for a couple of days now and has been refusing what i give it. ._. why do they always never eat. (i can practically see its hip bone)

Have you tried different foods? I had one for years and I never had a problem with him. How is his water quality?

ok..lol i barely set up the 10 gallon today, but he wasnt eating in the 2.5 gallon either. hasnt eaten since i got him, which was about 3days? ive tried reptomin, dried bloodworms, frozen bloodworms, and fish flakes.. not sure whats wrong, the reptile petstore guy told me they should eat bloodworms.

i heard they are prone to parasite that might kill em and they wont eat if they got it. =(

we feed the ones over at fish ranch blood worms.

Try night crawlers. You can get them in the sporting section at Walmart.

i think the newt that i had before was just unhealthy, these ones i got from fishranch ii eat like pigs lol.

Just a word of warning to anyone who owns a FBN. They are fatally toxic to dogs and cats if consumed, and there is no antidote. These salamanders contain the same toxins as puffers, so if you have furry friends in the house, keep a tight lid on these guys to avoid any tragedies.

These guys are also escape artists, so make sure the lid is extra tight.

Don't swallow them with beer or anything else for that matter.
