I got a japanese firebelly from petco last week after researching them here. From what I know he has not eaten since I took him from the store.
I filled his tank with deer park water, got a fluval canister filter, got artificial plants that he sits on all day (since it seems he does not enjoy the water all that much...?)
I also got him a pack of frozen baby brine shrimp that i put a piece of the ice in the tank, but i cannot see the brine shrimp, very small, so he may be eating that...( its not getting sucked up by the filter since i only turn the filter on every once in awhile)
Yesterday he started something new, he started scaling the glass walls of my 10 gallon aquarium and since then has gotten onto the floor 4 times, luckily he has been caught and put back in the water and seems to be ok.
Can anyone tell me how he has survived for 2 weeks if he has not eaten and how we can convince him not to escape. maybe another newt will help?
Also, I have land for him, I bought a flat smooth rock that sticks out of the water ~2cm.
