I've been raising some of this year's alpestris in with the adults. This newly morphed newt clearly tried playing with the big boys and lost a limb in the process. I thought he was a goner but it's amazing how resilient newts are. What was a fungus ridden leg has healed up nicely.
Would I be right in thinking that the bone needs to go before any re-growth takes place?
