Lowest temperatures for Fire Bellied Newts

[area2]

I am in the South of England and my boiler has broken.

I am worried it is to cold for them.

What is the lowest temperatures that Fire Bellied newts can tolerate only till Thursday as that is when my heating is repaired ?

It seems to be dropping to about 11°C.



Thanks

Anything above 3-4ºC should be of no concern.

I have a dozen with a thin sheet of ice over the tank on my patio

Thanks guys for prompt response.

I don't think it will freeze in the house and so far has not gone below 11ºC .

Mine have been hibernating as low as about 3 degrees celcius in my garage over winter this year. Now back in water at 8 degrees they're just as active as at their usual 15 to 20 degrees. Cold isn't a problem and may even induce breeding.
