Random enlargement...

[DeCypher]

One of my red-spotted newts was on the skinny side about 3 days ago. Now she is very plump (not huge). She isn't too big on eating, either. I don't think it's bloat, which is what I first thought. She doesn't go in water, and it just doesn't look like bloat. How could she get so large in such a short period of time?

If she has not been eaten well, it´s very likely to be bloat. A picture would certinly help if you can get one.

This is starting to freak me out. Now she's even skinnier than before! She completely refused food.

What is their diet?

 

[DeCypher]

Bloodworms, blackworms, earthworms, and redworms. She will only eat earth/redworms occasionally.

Now she's gotten smaller! She ate a very large worm today, so that got my hopes up. I can still see her bones, though. Does anybody know why she's changing sizes so rapidly?
