My name is Sarah. I have had my fire bellied newt for seven years. I feed it either live or frozen blood worms. It usually has fresh water, but I have not cleaned the terrarium that often, so I assume he is a tough little creature. I expect it to live for at least ten to fifteen years.

Where can you buy Fire bellied newts?

You can buy a Fire Bellied Newt at Petland, but make sure your newt is healthy before buying it. Make sure it is breathing fine, its eyes are open wide and it is eating its food. You may want to make sure it is moving around and that it isnt in a tank with sick newts because like with people, it is contagious. I hope this helps you, and good luck with your newts.

Do Chinese fire bellied newts eat on land or in the water?

Chinese fire bellied newts (of the species Cyanops orientalis) and other similar species which spend most of their time under water will usually feed underwater on insects and other small invertebrates. In the pet trade these species are often fed within the water on live or frozen invertebrates. The species would feed on land but since it spends the greater part of its day in the water then it will be unlikely to eat a lot on land.
