Ok, so I recently got 2 turtles and forgot all about my C. Orientalis (terrible I know) and didn't feed them for a month. I've felt like a dick and now feeding them everyday. Could it of stunted their growth?

To answer anything like that, you'll have to provide the forum with as many details about the newts, their tank set-up, diet, etc, and ideally photos.
Amphibians in the wild are often deprived of food for a period of time. They are survivors. You may have decreased the chance of having your newts breed, but I doubt that you did them any lasting harm. I would suggest that you make a daily routine of checking ALL your pets and dealing with whatever they need. It's also very easy to "let slide" the necessary water changes, and that can be just as harmful as not feeding.
