Small Alpine Newt

I recently got 2 1.5-2" Italian Aline Newts. At the moment they are being kept in a 36" tank with 3 firebellies. But they wont't eat any of the frozen bloodworm I offer them
Any advice?
 
Why don't you try chop earthworms and very small crickets? Try to feed them at night, just leave the alive food in the tank. Hopefully you will have a nice surprise in the morning, a nice belly!

I didnt know Italians DATED Chinese girls.

*Of course the dinners would BE GREAT.

I'm with Yago: Use live food - at least until they've settled down nicely. If they are reluctant to take frozen stuff you can try to get them interested by offering it with tweezers. Another strategy is to mix old/new food before feeding so they get accustomed to the flavor of the new food.

I'd recommend to get the Triturus a separate tank though...

Best wishes,

I also give live tubifex to my C/B t. alpestris cynery. I fill up 1 cm of water in a small plate with the tubifex, which I put in their terrarium. They love to get in and take the moving tubifex.
good luck
P.D.
Italins always date any girl! Sorry Marco ;)

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
