Hi everyone!
I have had a couple of newts for a few years now (one male one female), and have just stumbled across this site, and I can't believe I haven't seen it before!

My female newt (Alberta) has just started laying eggs, and there are a number of tadpoles that are now swimming about. This has happened once or twice before, and none have actually survived more than a few days. What should I do? Should they be separated? How do I ensure they are getting enough food?

Basically, does anyone have any tips on what I should do to make sure some newt babies survive!

Any input would be greatly appreciated

All the best
James

P.S. I should specify that these are sharp ribbed newts!

    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?
