A simple question. I think I know the answer as yes, but I will ask anyway. I think it would help others too.
I have 2 x chinese firebelly newts in the aquatic tank. One seems very plump around the middle. But I am not overfeeding them.
I have just saw something black / dark grey colour floating in the tank. I went over to it and saw it was a newt skin. I take it one has shed its skin. I take it the tank (all perameters are excellent) is healthy and the newts are happy and am I right in thinking I leave the skin in as they eat it ? I am sure I read it somewhere. I know I do with the blue crayfish in their tank and when I had shrimp. It gets eaten for the calcium.
At first, I thought it was a dead newt as it looked quite ghostly. lol.
