I noticed that one of my newts had a strange fuzzyish beige spot on her yesterday and then realized it was because her arm was missing! It's sort of fuzzy/translucent...I don't know if that is the beginning stages of regrowth or an infection but I was worried so following an article on this site I have dabbed her wound with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide and then rinsed it and then put her in a dirt quarantine. I hope this isn't too dry for her as I don't know how long they can be away from water. One side of the dirt is damp but I don't know where to go from here.
Should I keep checking to make sure that one side is always damp enough and if so how often (once a day?) ...Also, I don't know how long to keep her in this quarantine...I think it can take 2-3 weeks to regenerate limbs and that seems too long to keep her in there... how soon can I return her to the other newts in the main tank?
Thank you
