I have Eastern spotted newts that I found in a pond, along with the newts I found 3 Bronze frog tadpoles. The tadpoles are turning into frogs, I am worried they will try to eat the newts. They are about the same size, newt and frog, and were found in same pond. Does anyone know, Thanks
 
If you want your newts to survive I would definitely suggest keeping them in separate enclosures not only because they are cannibalistic but chances of spreading other diseases and fungus would be highly likely if you keep numerous species in one tank

    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.
