What kinda newts do you have? What are you feeding them? it doesn't kill . Most newts are pretty docile and shy (atleast the ones i have owned. I have always found they do best with frozen brine shrimp and blood worms. Live blackworms would also do them a world of wonders.
Also what kind of conditions is your pet in? What is his tank setup? If you have the right setup and right foods, you will in time have a little pig on your hands.
But as you get him healthier, you can try to add some other critters to your tank.. such as SCUDS.. small shrimp that thrive on leaves and plants. I have not kept them with newts but I am sure he would gobble some of those up when he feels the need.
