Hello, good day to you!
I've had a newt called Neppy for the last year, no main problems aside their alimentation.
They are very relaxed and not really active. They have a space in which they can be fully covered, has some wet gravel and a big rock in which she can stay. And i regularly change the water so it's clean.
There are two main worries, she's (i assume, you might be able to tell me a way to differentiate the gender) usually goes to hide in cave-ish places. I made a sort of bridge to get on top of the rock, but she stays under there for a while. And also likes cramped spaces. Is this normal behavior?
From time to time, i do bring her out of the habitat, caress them a little and get them back in. Might this be stressful?
The second issue is that i'm worried about her diet. She refuses to eat most dead things, or even balanced food, but when i gave her some corn worms she was really happy about it. I tried giving her earthworms, but she's scared of most of them, they have to be big enough for her to not back away from them. What else could i do?
I welcome any suggestions, and apologize if i made any mistakes. Anything info i can provide just let me know.
