New setup?

I took your guys advice and lowered the water levels in my tank to help Stash adjust to the water again. Now he goes into the water, but neither of the newts will eat. They havent eaten in like 4 days. Will it take them alittle bit to get used to the new setup? If so how long do u think? They are both pretty fat and healthy so I'm not worried yet.

Newts can go without food for a long time. 4 days is nothing to worry about. In fact, when temperatures are normal for my newts I don't feed my newts every day. And when temperatures are lower you can feed them even less.

When they are in a new setup I'd give them time to adjust. Don't handle them, don't put too much light on, keep the water clean (remove uneaten food). They'll probably be fine after a while. Just keep an eye on them to be sure.

No problem, could happen to everyone - just keep in mind that you can edit your own post afterwards if it doesn't look good.
