T. Granulosa biting, but not eating food

[CharlieCaulfield]

I got them two days ago. I was advised to let them be their first day just so they could settle in, but day two, I'm trying everything I can to get them eating

They look so skinny

I've tried superworms, little crickets, night crawlers, whole and chopped up into wriggle bits, I've sprinkled freeze dried bloodworms and pellets in there

They will nibble, but they don't actually swallow anything, and I'm getting really worried

Are they aquatic? You should also try frozen bloodworms. I have never had any newts eat the freeze dried ones. And make sure you are cutting the nightcrawler peices into bite size chunks for them. Alot of animals won't eat red wigglers bc they have a foul tasting secretion. You can also try live black worms, those can be great for picky eaters bc they stay alive and wiggle in the water. They may also need some more time to settle in, good luck.
