I am finding no information on Newt aggression. The books and sites that I have read say that you can put up to 6 newts in a 10 gallon tank. This tells me that they need company. Noone said that they can chew eachother's limbs off. Please tell me why newts attack, are they social creatures that need others or are they so territorial that they fight. Two of our 4 newts have died of their injuries and one other is missing her foot and has a bite out of her tail. I've separated the remaining 2 newts with hopes that her parts will repair over time. It is quite traumatic for my kids. 10 gallons is a lot of tank for one 2inch newt. (I've been a newt owner for 2 months and just added 2 girlfriends a week ago).
Any help would be appreciated.
