I'd like to poll all of ya how you do this:
With my fire belly newts, I have a system: they are so very tame after all these years that I simply lift each of them in his own private mini container w. a cube of bloodworms and let them eat away while I clean their tank.
However, the alpine newts are a bit more shy and would like to find their worms in their tank on their own time.
So here my Q's (I guess they go for chopped earthworms or frozen daphnia as well):
- if you put frozen bloodworms in their tank, do you put them in a jar/saucer, or just on the tank bottom?
- how long can you leave the worms in there safely before you have to vacuum off all the uneaten ones?
- also, in general, how often do you actually feed your newts?
