Another baby newt tale

Ok well ive had my 4 CFB newts for just under a year now, and i did not no the sex, however the guy at the aquatic store said he thaught they we all male, well despite regular tank water changes and feeding i failed to notice eggs!!!, while feeding the newts a month or so ago i saw 2 babies swimming around!!!

I immediatly came onto here to see how to deal with this situation.

I tried to catch the little newts to put them into a seperate house but it was like tryin to catch an ant in a haystack!!! so i decided to let nature take its course, i do feed the big newts a mixture of frozen bloodworm and live daphnea so they have had plenty of food, anyway miricle of miricles they have survived! and are growing, i have only seen 2 but who knows how many are in there!!

my question is do they lay eggs all year round??

I don't know about the eggs but I can tell you that I put a cup down on the bottom of the tank and chased my babies into it to catch them...they're fast little buggers. When I caught the second one my male had just gotten hold of it, and even after I got it out of the tank my male just sat there in the same spot going around in circles and poking his head in every crevice (of the spot where I removed the baby) like he was looking for it or something.

When they are very small, I use a turkey baster to suck them up (using a finger to close the end once they are inside). However, there is nothing wrong with raising them in the same tank with the adults. Since the tank is getting appropriate food for larvae (daphnia and bloodworm), I think that raising them like this is the best option anyway. When they metamorphose, they will climb out of the water, and you can move them to other housing at that point.

Firebelly newts usually only lay eggs in the springtime, although there have been cases of egg laying at other times of the year, or a long season that lasts for 3/4ths of the year. They do lay eggs a couple/day over a period of time rather than all at once.
