So my adults (N.V V.) love frozen bloodworms, and its the easiest to find and feed so that is their staple, most of them will also accept the pellets. Today i bought some nightcrawlers or "canadian worms" is what the package says. I cut two big ones int 6 peices each thinking each newt could have 2 fat peices. They are pretty "tame" as far as feeding as all of them will quickly accept anything you wriggle in their face with forceps. Usually i just dump the food in but i have 2 newts that are smaller and obviously get beat out for food. They are younger than the others but also not fat and chunky like the "old guys" so I offered each newt a peice of earthworm with the forceps. Every newt took one. The smallest one was fighting with his and before he could get it down another newt came and grabbed it right out of his mouth! It was a pretty small peice too but i guess still too big for him. ? All the big guys had 2 big peices each, i think 2 of them had 3!!! I can see that their stomachs look very fat and full! The second to smallest did have a peice as well. Afterwards i offered some bloodworms to the smallest guy on forceps to make sure he was getting some, and the others were still coming around gobbling up the bloodworms, one fattie even did a crocodile death roll aftwr grabbing a mouthful that i was still holding with the forceps. It was a little comical to see the little lady spinning round like a giant crocodile does to its prey!! Anyways, I once had a goldfish as a kid that ate until its stomach exploded! I hope newts wont/dont do that? Would they stop eating when they are full?? They usually get fed 2 or 3 times a week, but not such a big meal as this. I hope i didnt overfeed them. And if i am going to feed earthworms how often should i be feeding? I know its a much bigger meal than bloodworms. Thanks yall!
