Autumn is coming and the trees are starting to shed their leaves. I am thinking of going to the park and collecting a lot of oak leaves for my newt and salamander tanks.
Do I have to do anything to the leaves before putting them in the newt tank. I just hope there are no mites on the leaves. Will they be ok as there are no traffic fumes or insecticides / pesticides used near them.
Are there any other leaves that can be used, ie apple tree, cherry, willow. Tgese are the trees I have in my back garden The cherry (black cherry tree) has lovely red leaves on it at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
