Need help with newts

[Sammie]

Well I got 2 baby fire belly newts from my sister cause she had 4 of them, Well Ive never had a newt befor I have owned salamanders so I kinda know what Im doing. Well Im not really sure what to feed them cause there so tiny! I have some newt/salamander food that I got from the petsmart but I prefer live food but not sure what would be small enough for them to eat cause there tiny, any suggestions? Right now they are in a soda bottle with a chopped top, I will be getting them a 10Gal on friday. Also My sisters stuped boyfriend was messing with one of the newts when she had all 4 and he dropped him and hurt his back foot or somthing Of course my sister gave me the one he messed up and one thats not messed up, Well anyways I feel realy bad for the lil guy I was looking at him yesturday and It looks like he is missing a couple toes on his back foot, It really looks like it hurts You can see blood and its all while around it..Will he be ok? Im not sure what I can do to help him. I just feel so bad for him. I think he might be in pain cause he hasnt been moving much he has been in the same spot since Ive gotten him, I know they havnt eatten yet either they wont eat that crap I bought from petsmart, what do I do? I took sum pictures of the lil guys/girls You cant see the one that has his foot hurting cause the way I took the pic but he is the one halfway in the water and on the rock, The healthy one is under the water.

Try feeding them cut sections of very small earthworms. Most healthy caudates relish worms. You can also try whiteworms. blackworms, small crickets offered on forceps, fruitflies, frozen bloodworms (thawed of course), small slugs, and small sections of shrimp just to name a few items. When you set the tank up make sure to keep the water cool (in the 60's F) and provide plenty of plant cover, such as Java moss. Also, refrain from handling them as this just causes unnecessary stress.
