I recently got some dobro eggs, well they all have fuzz. The fuzz isnt all over and the larvae is pretty far along in development. Does this mean they're dead? :*(
 
sorry to say, but usually mold enters the egg after the baby has died. In the future remove a fuzzy egg the second you see it so that it does not effect the other eggs around it.
 
i removed every egg as soon as it fuzzed :(
 
Theres one egg that i can tell the fungus hasnt made it into the egg yet and its grown. what are the chances that it will make it?
 
It's hard to say what its chances are. How many eggs did you start with? Were they eggs laid by your own animals, or from someone else?

I assume you know... 50% of eggs of crested newts (including dobrogicus) are supposed to fuzz and die (after they begin development), right? That's normal. If they all fuzz and die, then it's either really bad statistical luck, or you got the eggs from someone else (and I can explain why this would tend to happen when eggs are harvested and sent).

    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?
