Morph not eating

becky · Dec 16, 2005

I posted earlier on what to feed my new morph (a smooth newt) and I have been trying to feed him frozen bloodworms but he is not eating. This is the third week he has not eaten anything, is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make him eat?

Morphs usually tend to go some time without eating. Have you tried small live food such as pinhead crickets or flightless fruit flies?

I found that chopped earthworms are more easily taken by my Cynops Orientalis than frozen bloodworm.

I'll buy some pin head crickets today, do you know where I could find wingless fruit fly?
I'll also look for some earth worms, but he is so tiny I'm not sure I can chop an earth worm that small...

O. you can. just keep cutting adn cutting until... you get the idea.

I think some big petshop will have fruit flies. Especially where they have dart frog for sale.

If you're keeping the morph on land then it will not eat frozen bloodworms.

Yay!! He ate his first meal today! I caught a tiny crawly thing and left it in his cage on a little plate and he hunted it and ate it

I'm so happy, he was looking skinny!
Thanks for the help guys
