Help! T.marmoratus

[Squirt88]

I need help to fatten up my juvenile T.marm he is my first experience with this species and I could do with some help as he is looking a little thin

Small earthworms and waxworms. That should work. If it doesn´t, then your animal is in trouble for reasons other than being picky or just thin.

Well I've tried hand feeding which I have successfully done with other newts but he refuses and turns his head, he was eating well if I left slugs or chopped earthworm in his tank but he hasn't eaten in about 5 days so I'm getting worried, I put some slugs and things in there tonight, I'll have to wait until morning to find out.

Try hand-feeding at night, in the dark.
