Hi there,
I had a pair of marbled newts but recently lost one :( not exactly sure of the cause but she never ate much and was significantly smaller than the other and even with tong feeding was difficult to get her to eat. Either way, the other one is thriving and a champ at eating. My concern is, will the remaining one be ok on her own? I can’t find much info on their social behavior in the wild. I see lots of info on the max you can keep together but will one be sufficient on its own? Part of me feels bad that she lost her tank mate but I also feel that may be me assigning my emotion to the matter. Is it important to keep multiples for natural/healthy behavior. Any insight is appreciated!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
