Hi everyone,
Am I glad to have stumbled upon this forum! I'm a new proud owner of 4 cynops orientalis (orientali? -plural). We set up a glass tank that is about one and a half foot long, about 1/2 land, 1/2 water. The newts looks rather small, each slightly longer than an inch. I'm a little worried because only 2 of them seem to be eating - we're feeding them with frozen bloodworms. They don't seem to be able to detect the worms - unless I dangle the worms in front of them. Does anyone else face similar difficulties in feeding? Any tips to share as to how to "persuade" them to eat?
Thanks in advance and have a nice, newty day!
