I was having some trouble getting hi to eat (if he looks a little sminny) Now I got him on these enriched freezdried bloodworms (picture #1), he will eat frozen too, but they make more mess.

Try him on some suitably sized earthworms. He'll fatten up a treat then. Canada has lots of the perfect worms that newts love!....Lumbricus Terrestris. Just make sure they're dug up from a pesticide free area}

Yah, i will when it finally rains, we still have some snow lying around so that won't be for a few weeks yet. He's just finally started eating on a regular bases cuz he's settled in. thanks
