Hi all, newt noobie here. getting ahead of myself as I haven't even received my hatchlings from the breeder yet but I'm trying to learn as much as possible before I do!
My babies will be living in a plastic tub initially, but I've also bought a terrarium so that I can I have it well established for when they metamorphose. However I can't find see any info about the actual process of transferring them from one habitat to the other. When they come out of the water and start to change, do you leave them in their original environment until metamorphosis is complete, or should they be transferred as soon as they come out of the water? And is there anything that should be done to help introduce them to their new enclosure without too much stress?
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge. This website is such a great resource! Newts are pretty new in NZ as pets and there is really no local info. about them!
