Fire Belly Newts As Pets
Fire Belly Newts are sometimes sold at pet stores. They do best in room-temperature freshwater aquariums with a small area of land or wood for them to surface on. Contrary to the way in which they're often sold at pet stores, Fire Belly Newts do not require terrariums, and actually thrive in misty aquatic environments. Fire Belly Newts can be fed blood worms, brine shrimp, or chopped-up earthworms. Some newts can go two to three days without food. They also do well in groups, provided there is proportional space in the environment.
