Help, i got a newt a few days ago and it doesn't move very much. In fact it only moved a few inches and hasn't eaten one thing. Is it not happy? Is it too warm? What should i do? I touched it and it barely reacts. URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!

You do realize that this is illegal in most states. If the animal was not native, you could have introduced foreign pathogens that could destroy native populations. After being in captivity, it's sure to have picked up pathogens from you and you have now introduced them to native animals. Congradulations.

I cannot beleive that he/she did that! Now it'll be a meal for something else and then that creature will probably die of a disease. Then it's carcass will contiune to spread the disease until every creature has a chance to experience the disease. If the newt was wild in the first place then it was stupid to think it would eat right away. Wild animals rarely eat readily since they are completley confused about their new strange environment.

Wow, that was an incredibly stupid thing to do.
