how do u look after Chinese Fire Belly Newt?

Question

i am thinking about getting one

Answer 1

allright you are going to need a minimum of a ten gallon tank. my terrarium is set up with a brick on the one side, and then rocks on top that gradually decrease to none on the other side. they have to be able to get out of the water when they want to and this is a petfect way. they are supposed to eat small crickets and insects and small feeders when they get bigger. mine hesistate about them, but eventually eat them. mine just like floating pellets, but use these in sparce amounts! they can create a nasty water condition!! they need there water no higer than 68F and you just need a flourescent bulb for overhead. do NOT use a uvb/uva bulb....they burn the skin of the newt, as newts do not have enough pigments and such to absorb it correctly. anything else? if you put the bricks too high up the newt can crawl out, so, just to be safe---use a screen cover, not a glass cover. allright if you need anything else give me an email

Answer 2

By carefully observing where the newt is looking, you can determine where to look after it has stopped looking there. Then you will have looked after a Chinese Fire Belly Newt.

Answer 3

chinese language firebelly newts are smaller and way cuter. jap firebelly newts seem clumsy while in comparison with the stunning little chinese language ones. there is likewise adjustments of their nutrition plan for the bigger jap newts can consume extra advantageous ingredients like crickets and fly/mealworm larvae. we've 2 chinese language firebelly newts and the different one is only too frightened of nutrition as huge as a youthful cricket or a fly larva and backs away while they are provided. the different one is fiercer and could attack and consume them however the swallowing takes him an prolonged time and sounds like a impressive style of attempt. Mealworms are a different no no for the two one among them, way too huge. the excellent nutrition is mosquito or blood computer virus larvae - residing ones ideally, frozen throughout iciness months.

Answer 4

Most of these animals are not cared for properly in pet stores so don't even bother asking the attendant... Maybe, maybe, mabye the tank set up they have them in... a proper vivarium with equal amounts of land and water with a few different enclosed hiding places on the land parts will be adequate. But I would still bet they don't watch the water levels properly or quarantine their animals to prevent parasites and other infections. The majority of these animals bought from pet stores are sick, malnourished, improperly cared for, and even at death's door as soon as you take them home.

Basically chinese fire belly newts live in cooler mountain waters. They hibernate in the winter and become more active in the spring and summer slowly migrating into the lower plains and prairies. They eat small to microscopic insects, mostly aquatic ones. They need filtered pure spring water, dechlorinator and chemical water conditioners just won't cut it. They thrive in cooler temperatures and will live a lot longer if kept cooler at night and only slightly warmer in the day with a small light to bask under, not uv. You can feed them little bits of liver, or tiny freshwater snails. Otherwise cut up turtle sticks, or dried daphnia supplemented with occasional frog/amphibian vitamins.
Keep their water clean and cool... pure spring water. And did I mention hide spots... they need cool dark places on the land part of their vivarium to completely hide. You can also put bits of liver or daphnia in there as surprise treats. Oh yeah, and DON'T handle them. There's no reason to, they're not fluffy or cuddly and you and your friends can see them just as easily in their vivarium as in your hand or all cutsey on your face. Even though they are slighly toxic, the oils in your skin are much more toxic to them and will cause them to slough their skin and can kill them over time. When you must handle them for moving or cleaning purposes wear non-powdered non allergenic latex or nyrile gloves thoroughly rinsed with spring water. If you must handle them without gloves scrub your hands first thoroughly with dish detergent and then RINSE the dish detergent off in spring water just as thoroughly. And then you'd probably want to wash your hands after handling as well... toxicity, and natural biotics to them that are harmful to us, like salmonella.

Answer 7

Keep the water cold and dechlorinated, and have a land area. Make sure the air is not too humid as it can get warm. Make sure there are no places where they can escpe because they are good at it. Also, you may have to hand feed them, so be warned. I hand feed mine.
