Do the newts have lots of places to hide? Fruit flies, bean beetles, small isopods, and tiny crickets are all good food choices. My suggestion is to mist their enclosure right at lights out, to encourage activity. Then dump the prey insects in, and leave the newts to hunt.
If the newts remain plump and the insects are disappearing, then you will know that the newts are eating. If they are shy, you may seldom see them eating. They also may be inhibited by your watching them.
