Just under a week ago my Chinese Warty Newt managed to escape his tank, i found him on monday dried up in a corner. thankfully when i put him back in the tank several hours later he was moving around again. however i believe the dehydration may have damaged his eyes? they're both cloudy with the skin ontop of them almost peeling off.

ontop of that over the last day or two he's become bloated and there for refusing to eat. he also seems to be having trouble staying at the bottom with the bloat causing him to float unless he hides under or grabs onto something.

any help or greatly appreciated, im getting pretty desperate now, he's about 6 years old and i cant bare the thought of losing him. thanks in advance.

    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?
