my female japanese FBN has been trieng to eat the male;is this something they do before they mate,or are they hungry?(ive been feeding them 1/3 of a cube of bloodworms each a day, and m is 4 in and f ~5 in)
When i looked at te male after hed been ''assaulted''he had skin comeing of him but i think that was from when she bit him.and she nearly had his whole head in her mouth.
I once had a female nearly consume a small male, only his head was poking out. This was because while cleaning their tank I moved them into a small temporary one. I made the mistake of feeding them during this time. In a large tank the smaller newts can usually swim away from feeding frenzies whereas in small ones they can't.
When I picked up the female she regurgitated the male. No harm done to either one other than the female was exhausted and the male became very anxious.
