Newt broke leg, now what

E

element

Guest
in a feeding tank, 1 of my FBN's got her leg bitten and it seems like the skin cut and possibly leg broken, seeing as she always has it on her side, foot pointing to her tail. She seems fine with 3 legs, but still obviously uncomfortable for her. Whats best plan, antibiotics, amputate, uvb, or just keep her clean? please respond soon, thanks
 
is the leg severed? is the tissue below the break dying/dead?

could you get photos?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
