蠑螈 (Newt )

中國火龍 成年蠑螈 Chinese Fire Belly Adult Newt



They are our new pets, should be Chinese Fire Belly Newt (Cynops orientalis) 東方蠑螈(中國火龍). We bought 3 newts on 29 April and there were 3 eggs attached on the weed. The eggs hatched on 18 May & the baby newts are 12 Days old now. They eat baby brine shrimp (豐年蝦 BB), may eat little blood worm later, just like the adult. Currently, we buy freshly hatched baby brine shrimp from shops but the newt babies can only eat a few at a time. We tried to keep the shrimp in salt water but others suggested that baby brine shrimp is only good in the first few hours. So we have to buy frequently!
