I caught 2 rough-skinned newts from wild legally last week. Having them in a 24 inch * 11-inch tank. One of them acting weird.
The first 2-3 days, the newt swimming well in the water, and sometimes walk around on the land. Looks pretty healthy.
However, from 4-5days after, he sometimes spinning several times when he swims. It looks it happens when he attempts to swim toward the water surface for breathing.
The next day from he spins, I found he was laying the bottom of the water upside down. I put him to the land but he back to the water. When I found him at the bottom of water 2nd time, I decided to separate him from the main tunk to low-leveled water tunk with moss and rocks.
At the isolation tunk, he sometimes walking around, but the walking is weird. He often slips and upside down (and he fix that himself).
He looks definitely unhealthy than when he comes. In addition, he'd never eaten anything for 1 week.
The other newt looks healthy and he ate live blood worm, leptmin, and law chicken liver.
The first photo is in the main trunk while he is spinning,
The second photo is in the temporary isolation tunk when he upside down.
