Fire belly newt acting weird

Hi, about a year ago I got a Chinese fire belly newt, and he has been perfectly healthy up until about a week ago, when I decided to change the scenery (it was pretty ugly).
The next day he started spending all his time on land.
When I fed him a worm he ate it fine, but a few minutes later regurgitated the whole thing!
The next time I fed him he did the same. I thought that probably those worms were too big to fit in his stomach, so I gave him just a quarter of one. He attacked it but didn't do much more than that.
Now every time I feed him he snaps at the worm and then lets go and sits there for the next few minutes with his mouth gaping open as if he were yawning. Please give me some advice as he is starting to look pretty skinny.
Thanks in advance!
