Hi there,
I had a pair of marbled newts but recently lost one
not exactly sure of the cause but she never ate much and was significantly smaller than the other and even with tong feeding was difficult to get her to eat. Either way, the other one is thriving and a champ at eating. My concern is, will the remaining one be ok on her own? I can’t find much info on their social behavior in the wild. I see lots of info on the max you can keep together but will one be sufficient on its own? Part of me feels bad that she lost her tank mate but I also feel that may be me assigning my emotion to the matter. Is it important to keep multiples for natural/healthy behavior. Any insight is appreciated!
