Limb Injuries

[markprovan]

I have two CFB newts and for a while they were in one tank until the larger of the two lashed out at the smaller, causing two limbs to be lost. They are now separate. Will these limbs regrow?

Are you sure they aren't paddletail firebellies (which are an aggressive species)? It's rare for CFB to injure each other. Another possibility to consider is the loss of limbs due to limb rot rather than aggression.

If the newt is otherwise healthy and does not get infected, yes, the limbs will regrow.
