I've had my 2 male fuzhong warty newts for a while now (over a year but don't know exactly how long over), but over the last month or so the biggest one has lost loads of weight.
I've tried him with: cockles, mussels, shrimp, prawn, pellets and worms but he wont eat any of them. He did eat a few pellets to start with but wont now.
I've ordered some crickets to try those, and I've also still got the frozen cubes of various things to try (bloodworm, daphnia etc) but is there anything else I can do?
The smaller one is totally fine, eating and acting like normal.
The water params are normal.
The temp has been up as it's been warm here, but it was much warmer last year and both were fine.
It's also cooled down again the past few days.
I'm trying to get a divider sorted to separate him from the smaller one. I don't have a spare tank to put him in so a divider is the best I can do.
Since I've had them their personalities have kept changing. One week the smaller one was the "bully", the next week it was the bigger one.
For a while now though the smaller one has been the one "in charge"
They don't fight a lot, they've never done enough to need separating though. They have scraps now and then but it's normally just tail grabbing.
I was just hoping separating them now would help.
What else can I do? Or could this be a natural "ending"? I have no idea how old they are.
Hope someone can help!
He had started to look better at one point but now looks bad again hence my post here.
