I've been meaning to post this for a while, but SDE prompted me to do it now.
I got some Eastern Newts, about a year ago at a LFS. I now know they are most likely wild caught and highly stressed, but need help and advice on the best care for them anyway.
One, the bigger swims a lot more than the other, but they do spend a good amount of time on the dock. The smaller one spends a lot of time on the dock, and looks skinny. I know they both get access to food (bloodworms).
I'm looking for all input, on what the best habitat for them is, best food, best food deployment (water/land), and anything else from anyone with experience. Also advice on sexing them. The larger one is about 4" long, the shorter one maybe 3.5".
Here they are:
Big One:
Small One, Note the two bumps by tail...bones?
Any help/advice welcomed.
