Feeding firebelly in terrestrial phase

[mmen]

And what about a cynops orientalis in his terrestrial phase? One of mines now refuses to go inside the water and so, is getting thinner cause he doesn´t eat.
I tried the same bloodworms I give to the others, offering it on a stick, in a plate, pieces of fish or chicken... but... no way. What shall I try next?
Thanks in advance

Try blackworms

mmen, you have two choices. 1. Find some kind of LIVE food that is small enough and can be used on land. (tiny crickets, slugs and bugs from outside, etc) Pieces of chopped earthworm work well, if the pieces are large enough to keep wiggling. 2. Keep trying to feed the newt frozen bloodworms (or better, chopped earthworm) using a toothpick or tweezers. It may take many attempts until it learns to eat this way. Good luck!

Eartworms worked great with mine. You should have no problem if you feed them worms, they are highly nutritious, so they´ll be perfectly healthy during their terrestrial "holiday". Mine usually refused bloodworms unless they were very hungry...but they never refused eating worms even if they were rather full.
