California Newts living together with Western Toads

[dave]

I have 2 California Newts in a terrarium with 4 tiny (about one-half inch long) Western Toads. Should they be in separate terrariums? The toads seem to be hogging the little cave that the newts like to hide in.

Thanks, DK

if they're about half an inch long, they have a good chance of being eaten by the newts.

but yes, seperate them. its been a large debate, but the general consensus says that newts/sals shouldnt be kept with other animals.
