Use the forum search function. There are countless threads on this topic that are flooded with advice.
Sometimes newts and salamanders get stressed during their transport, so they may still be adjusting to their new home. Also, they don't necessarily have to eat every day, perhaps they ate before they were shipped and just aren't hungry yet. Make sure you keep their temperature in the ideal range. Do you notice any other odd behaviors such as lethargy? How about their physical appearance?

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
