Hi All,
My newt, Amethyst, has been quite round over the past couple of weeks.. 2 or 3 weeks, I believe. She seems to be floating quite a bit on the water...when she swims, she sort of floats and needs to really use her arms, legs and tail to help her get around. I read on the website that 'swimming funny' suggests bloat, and sadly, it sounds like there's not much I can do for this condition.
Is it at all possible for a pregnant newt to also swim in a funny way? Might a pregnant newt also float on the water? Or, is this most certainly a sign of bloating?
Amethyst once laid eggs 4 years ago.
Please offer me any suggestions/advice you may have. She is very dear to me.
Thank-you.
