good bye
 
Well done nursing him back to health. Good job!
 
Thank you for posting the photos. Enrofloxacin is sold under the brand name Baytril, which is a more familiar name here in the US. I assume this is what you used.

Is there a reason that are you keeping the newt terrestrial? This species is usually highly aquatic.
 
I received a reply from Peraka. This is a good thread, so I don't mind bumping it back to life all these years later. He says that this newt has been kept in an aqua-terrarium, where it can choose between land and water. It sometimes chooses to be on land for 3-4 months of the year, the rest of the time in water.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
