Hey, I have a newt and I was wondering if I should oxyginate the water (have an airstone in)? I have one in, but I havent put my newt in yet. Please help.

P.S. The pet store said he was a paddle-tailed newt…

Newts dont exacly breath through gills so the water does not have to be oxygenated but in the wild they live in clear flowing, highly oxygenated streams, and since they do breathe a little bit through their skin, I would reccomend using an airstone.

1. Get an adequately sized tank. I wouldn't recommend putting them together, unless I knew the newt species.
2. Fill the bottom of the tank with gravel, making a steep "hill".
3. Fill it with an inch of water, keeping part of the "hill" sticking out.
4. Get a branch/bird perch for a "dry" area.
5. Feed them "vitamin loaded" crickets about 3-4 days a week.
6. Clean the tank about 3+ times a week
7. Enjoy!
*Another tank setup is dry, with a filled water dish for a wet area.

When I go on vacation, I am thinking about letting my cousin take care of my newt, but there is a problem: he doesn't take care of his animals very well. He has a small herp habitat, but he keeps small fish and frogs in there and I'm afraid they will hurt my newt. How can I make sure he takes good care of him when I'm gone because he's the only one that will?

Simply instruct him that your newt is very important. If he doesn't seem to think it'll be unsafe in this cage give him a shot. Or try asking a friend and pay them a small sum I'd do it for five dollars so I'm sure you could find someone.

I have a new newt and it will not eat its food

You need to make sure it's set up properly. Most newts do well in a half land half water setup.
Keep the temps cool, the water should be filtered, with lots of hiding places.
Newts prefer live food. Small earthworms are the best.
I hope this helps, but since you didn't provide any specifics, I'm only just guessing at what the problem might be.
