>>It's best to seperate these two species as they really don't do well together. The toxins from the toads can harm the newts & there may be aggression between the two species. I've seen petstores keep completely incompatible species together, so they are, unfortunately, little good when it comes to advice.
>>
>>I feed my firebelly newts a diet of frozen bloodworms one day, then "Newt/Salamander bites" at the next feeding. I feed them every other day. They are thriving on this diet.
>>
>>Best of luck & please seperate for the health & wellbeing of both species.
