Baby Newt question

[sarah]

I have a tank with a few newt eggs in, a few started hatching a couple of days ago. Ive noticed today that quite a few of the babies are laying on their side or back, is that normal? None of them have moved very much, but I think they probably wont until they grow a bit and get some food. Just hope they arnt sick (or even worse dead!).

That's normal. Here's an article that will give you a headstart on development.

Thats a relief! I thought Id killed them off and Ive only had them for a few days. Thanks
