Newts Eat Snails

00:00 Newts Eat Snails Buy Snails Locally on Craigslist: https://newyork.craigslist.org/search/sss?userpostingid=7391919122 Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/aquarium_garden/ Blog: https://rndmbits.blogspot.com/2024/11/newts-eat-snails.html All my projects https://website www.fewdoit.com 00:05 The smell of this magnificent Colombian Ramshorn snail attracts a newt. It smells delicious! Eastern newts eat only what they can swallow in one whole piece. This snail is too large for the newt to eat it. Lucky for my newts I have colonies of smaller sized snails in all my aquariums. Here you can see my Newt-a-girl named SheShy on the hunting path. She is looking for young up to 5 millimeters size Bladder and common Ramshorn snails. Both male newts seem to be very busy at this moment in staring at each other contest. 01:03 Here the newt-a-girl found a perfect size delicious Ramshorn snail. Lightening fast attack! It takes a couple minutes for Easter Newts to fully swallow a snail. And then the hunt will go on. But remember - newts do not attack large adult snails. Adult Ramshorn and Bladder snails are very proficient breeders thriving in freshwater aquariums. A couple dozens of adult snails provide s very steady supply of baby snails for newts to feed on. This makes snails one of the best live food to culture right in aquariums with newts! Though, with 3 newts to feed I also have to keep snails in a couple separate aquariums 😉 Have fun and happy Newts 😊
