Ok, so i have a 10 gallon with some fish and a bunch of floating stuff for my newts. I have 2 fire bellies. I have had them for about a month and they are still alive, but one will never eat. he is pretty skinny, more so then when i got him. I put those cruddy newt sticks in the tank everyone once in a while and even break them in half, and i dont think they ever even look at them. so when i do feed them i take them out and put them in another small holding tank with a little water and fill it with some black worms. Now one newt just loves them and eats them up and the other just wants to escape and never eats a thing. Is this normal. is he just not liking the tank or what. Also how to people get them to eat out of thier hands and get them to be real friendly. Mine are both real small only about thee inches long with the tail.
