I have two firebellied newts - Splodgey and Spotty. Splodgey is the bigger one and has always eaten more. I used to only have one little bit of land and they never went on it and were always in the water. Recently i added more land area and was happy when i saw Splodgey going up on it but now i'm worried because he is constantly on the land and never goes in the water any more. i feed them frozen blood worms which go in the water but Splodgey won't even go in the water to eat them. I lift him in to thewater sometimes but that just distresses him and he swims about wildly for a bit then sits in the water for a while ignoring the food and then goes back on to the land. I'm really worried that he's getting skinny and isn't eating anything. I also thought it might be because there was a problem with the water so have done more frequent water changes but son't have enough money to buy a new filter encase that's the problem. Please help.
