Did I miss it? What species are they? (very cute, whatever they are).

Cute indeed!

What is the pH of the water they are in? Whenever I see water + moss, I feel a bit worried.

L.vulgaris???
Cute indeed...as every single tiny newt n_n
I´m not sure that´s sphagnum, do you think other mosses can be dangerously acidic Jen?

Its moss for reptiles and amphbians... not sure if this one is spagnum , they have been in it since august any way and doing fine

they are just common smooooth newts

awww they are real cute! i had a tiny smooth newt for a little while i rescued it from a group of pond dipping kids who were gonna keep it in a jar!! I took it home and made a really nice set-up for it, mr newt didnt take too well to captivity though and wasnt eating so i waited untill the the season of pond dippers was over, (when the kids went back to school after summer holidays) then took him back to his pond.

I once caught a girl catching newts to sell to fisherman as bait. Boy, did I ever give her a lecture. Then I made her look at one of the little newts in the face, how cute it was, and ... I think I might even have resorted to anthropomorphizing the little fellows (Look at the sweet little face, it's smiling, how do you think it'll like a fishhook in its belly, it's family will miss it, etc.) I hope I had a lasting impact, though I'll never know.

blooming hell
very sad that the others died but i did my best
my pump in my pong packed up - the pond with fish in - and no newts .. (newts in other one only - or so i thought) there were eggs in the pump - thuoght they were fish eggs and snails eggs etc etc so put them i a bucket ,,, then put them inside in the end as it wa sgettign so cold!! 8 ended up being fish the rest newts.

i guess tey are lucky

and eat SO MUCH
