Question: Feeding ribbed newt

[NkB]

Hi

I just got a ribbed newt and I've been feeding him reptomin sticks. Can anyone advise how many a day I should be giving him?

Thanks

Dont qwot me on this but i think it is what they cane eat in two minutes. But if this is helpful my newts eat 4 to 6 frozen blood worms each every other day. Just in case you dont now water temp should be around 70f for most newts:happy:

As much as they can eat in 2 minutes should be fine. Besides pellets, night-crawlers and other worms make a good staple diet as well, and they look comical eating them as well

Thanks! I had a fire belly newt before which ate blood worms every other day, wasn't sure how similar the species were
