Things You'll Need
- Grubs
- Calcium, vitamin and mineral supplement powder
- Small jar with lid
- Tongs
Instructions
Purchase the grub food from a pet shop, and feed it to your newt every two days.
Dust the grubs with calcium, vitamin and mineral supplement powder at least once a week, before offering it to the newt. Sprinkle a pinch of supplement powder in a small jar and place the grub in it. Place the lid on the jar and shake it to coat the newt with the powder. Open the jar and offer the supplement-coated grub to your newt.
You can also feed grubs to the newt by holding the prey with tongs. Do not offer killed prey. Newts are attracted by movement and will not touch food that doesn't move.
If your newt does not eat all the grubs that it is offered, do not provide new food until it has eaten all the leftover grubs.
