what food??

[stephan]

got some common newts, what food do they eat, does any one know?? or any sugestions?

Not sure specifically about that kind, but most newts just eat bloodworms, earthworms, or waxworms; a lot of pet stores have them. Just don't buy salamander and newt bites, because most newts refuse them.

Stephan, that depends on the number of newts and the species you have collected.
