I have a baby newt, it is terrestrial and a Japanese Firebelly newt.
It is my favourite one with an orange stripe down its back.
How do I get it to eat. I have tried pinhead crickets, chopped up earthworms, wax worms, bloodworms, whiteworms, baby woodlice and it still refuses to eat. It turns its head away from food. It is out and about and active at times and even climbs the glass of the tank a couple of inches and just sits there. It will go for a swim and sit on the plant leaves. It is looking very thin now. I am getting worried about it as it does not want to eat. Is there any way I can get it to get started in eating again. Thanks in advance. When it comes out again from hiding, I will take a pic of it.
