How long will it take for a baby newt to get to an adult size?

In general most newts will reach adult size in around 2-3 years although growth is somewhat dependant on how much you feed or how they're kept i.e. aquatic or terrestrial. Many newts can be sexually mature before they reach full adult size.
 
kk thank you very much, just my banded newts and smooth newts are still SOOOOO small.. and eat loads!! lol
 
What food(s) are you feeding them? Some foods seem to make animals grow faster than others. If they are eating loads, they should grow, though it may take several months to see a noticeable change in size.
 
they eating bloodworms, and daphnia (sp)
what they have in the shop - so one of those..
i tried frozen nat lareve too but they didnt like them.
:(

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
