Hi again guys,

The T. shanjing that I have are doing great but some are still quite small although they morphed six months ago. Also, one has light coloured swellings on the spine at the neck and base of tail, and also two small ones on the tail and front arm. The vet thinks that it could be a calcium deficiency but think this strange as none of the others have anything like it. Also, I know that newts can regenerate so wondered if it is possible for this to 'turn on' and create cancer?

They are offered blackworms in a shallow dish and fruit fly larvae on a daily basis, and always have fflies and pinheads available. Do I need to add calcium to these foods as I never have before. I will also be getting a batch of redworms this week to breed.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Rachel

    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?
