I just got a baby red spotted newt and im not sure what to feed it, can anyone tell me?

very small invertibrates amd veribrates can be fed to red spotted newts. Things such as tiny crickets, bloodworms, earthworms, wingless fruitflies, small frog tadpoles, whiteworms, tubifex worms, small gubbies and other small fish, brine shrimp and ghost shrimp and pretty much anything else that is small enough to fit in their mouths and not struggle too much.

I also recommend doing a search on the internet for red spotted newt care sheets for more information about these little newts.

thanks for getting back to me

Holy smokes, can you please tell me where you bought the Red Spotted Newts! I have been searching all year for some! Please let me know! Please!

Thanks, Pedro

you have been searching? i found him/her in my pool! hes so... cute but i dont know what to feed him/her! do u know?

I feed mine brine shrimp (frozen blocks) and bloodworms (more frozen blocks) your local fish store or superpet or any other place that caters to animals should have these. i feed one block 3 times a week and have to remove the excess.
