Tadpoles

Well usually when back legs are getting larger they will eat a bit of chopped bloodworms with their food. So probably now it will eat some. Then once it becomes and adult frog/toad all it will eat is bugs.

or newt!! yeah but by then it will be on its own fending for its self.

Newt larvae dont eat plant matter, so it has to be a frog or toad. Newt larvae have external "feathery" gills behind their head.

id say its pretty much impossible to breed them in tanks, they are very perticular when it comes to breeding grounds, its not a easy task to find there spawn either as they lay eggs individualy wraped in leaves lol good luck with that one

haha it would seem I've somehow cluelessly managed to get mine to lay eggs...

nice one , what species?

Chinese Fire Bellied Newts (like the one in my picture)

I figured you were. I think newts are fairly hard to breed in captivity.
