Non-water fouling way to feed your firebelly

Guest
I have a chinese dwarf fire newt and feed it Earth worms. I don't leave them in a tray for him to eat out and i don't leave them in the bottom. the excess food "fouls" the water I heard. The method I use is simple, cheap and effective. You get a pair of plastic tweezers that don't stay closed instead stay wide open. the ones that are closed the newt will have a harder time to get the food. You take part of a worm, grab the end of iwith the tweezers(it's easier to grab the part that moves less so the newt is more attracted),You then dangle the worm in the water in front of it(just about a 1/2 cm away). You should see the worm eyeing it and getting ready to grab it. If the newt doesn't seem interested try again about a half hour to an hour later. This method doesn't fowl the water, but is a little time consuming. But in the long run it save you the time it takes to clean your tank or filter. This method is great for tanks without filters. I haven't tried it on other species or other foods. report any progress!!!}}}

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
