I have tadpoles and 4 baby newts in a tank. All seem to be doing fine except for one newt who is very very bloated and floating upside down. I've put him in the fridge as I read this slows their metabolism and can help. But is that all I can do? Also, I'm not sure the other 3 newts are eating. 1 is minuscule and I worry if it doesn't eat it will die. I put in bloodworms for them, and have tried dangling one round it's mouth as if it were live prey. But no luck. I've been keeping the water refreshed, and cool. Any advice for me?
 
What sort of newts are they? And how big are the tadpoles compared to the newts? Could you add maybe a photo of the newts and their housing so we can get a better idea:D
 
I'm not sure what kind they are. 3 of the newts are a good bit bigger than the tadpoles. I think I've attached a few images for you. I tried to anyway, I'm doing this on my phone and haven't been on here before today. But hopefully it will work. If not, I'll try again.
