T marms switching to aquatic stage

[velasco13000]

Hello I had a quick question....I have a group of 5 t marms that were on land for quite some time and I just placed them in an aquatic set up. Ever since I placed them in water I havnt seen them eat.. im sure they are eating but their feeding has slowed down...should i put them back in there terrestrial set up or leave them in the water?

Are they losing weight? Is their food disappearing? I find it easier to feed animals aquatically than terrestrially.

What food are you offering? If they have adequate access to land, but are choosing to be in the water, definitely leave them there. Moving them to land when they want to be aquatic (or vice versa) could be dangerous for them.

I have my marmoratus in water for almost a month now. In the beginnig they didn't eat a lot, but their appetite increased after little more than a week.

Foods I've offered them are whiteworms, tubifex, bloodworms and earthworms, of which earthworms were eaten best.

well when they were on land they were like little fattys..they ate everything i gave them..from blackworms to night crawlers..and their appetite has slowed down for sure..ive tried feeding night crawlers and they dont eat like they used to...i places them in a mainly aquatic set up with a small land area and they seem to prefer the water..their appetite was just worrying me..
