I bought my newt about two weeks ago and in the first week ate fine (it used to gulp down the frozen bloodworms and refused the mealworms I tried to feed it). But the past week or so it hasn't eaten at all. How often should a newt by eating? It is quite a small newt - only a few inches long.

Also - I am finding a lot of conflicting advice as to whether these newts are aquatic or not. I keep my newt in an acquarium with a few inches of water with a floating island and a gravel ramp with moss and leaves on (which is seems to be spending most of its time hiding under)

Should I be worried? Because I am!
