I have a two month old female firebelly newt shes been doing great until one day she stoped eating the crickets i put n there. ive tried every food but will not eat. its been 3 weeks since the last time she ate and she is doing great, really healthy. what could she be eating because newts can go longer than a week without eating.what the heck is going.please someone help.
 
most healthy caudates can go a long time without eating, sometimes months. she's probably just not hungry. try earthworms, they're one of the most nutritious food you can get.

    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.
