As I said in my last post , Ive been given a few alpine crested newt eggs. At the moment they are attached to a weed and ive put them in a shallow tupperware box, two of them look close to hatching. To get straight to the point could someone give me a quick crash course on how to look after them in the coming days like - Can I use bottled spring water when i change the water(and how often,- Are they alright in room temp,- what do I feed them when theyve hatched??????
 
As was intimated in your last post, these questions would generate more profitable answers if posted in the Newt Help Section.
As to husbandry questions the "Raising newts from eggs" article that was suggested has all the answers.
To answer your questions above: you can use tap water for partial changes every 2 days, it is best left for 48 hours before use to allow the chlorine to dissipate.
Room temperature is fine.
As to feeding see: http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/microfoods.shtml
