The other day i was reeding a book i just got from the Australian Museam called Keeping and Breeding Amphibians. It said that fish are fine to feed to amphibians. It also saied that you can feed baby mice to larger Ambostomids and forgs/toads. What do you guys think?
(yes i do know that i probebely should have posted this in the food section of the foum)
 
If I get a chance I will move this to the food section of the forum.

Cold water, cool water and marine fish are the best choices as a food source and if you are using frozen thawed should not be the majority of the diet due to the risk os thiamine insufficiency.

Pinks are a acceptable food source as long as you respect that they are very calorically dense when compared to other more commonly offered food items and that ambystomids tend to have a slower metabolism for a caudate.

    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.
