Hello!
I have a couple of terrestial C.orientalis that I have had for just over a month. They are just over half the size of my pinky. I have never actually witnessed them eating. I have tried live white worms & they ignore them, same with frozen bloodworms. I added sprintails in there with them & I also add fruit flies. I am assuming they are only living off of them but I never see them eat. One of them is turning a gray color(you can see in the picture) & I am becoming concerned that it may not be doing well. I have other terrestial newts that go crazy for the worms so I am at a loss. I am considering converting them to an aquatic set up because they are still so small I want them to get some size on them & feeding them would be easier in water.
Please leave me some tips on how to do this, even better would be pictures of set ups & you experience with doing this.
Thank you guys!
