Hynobius are vso easy to take care for (if they arrive in good health) . The only thing you don't wanna do with them is clean their tank each week... I think this works aversely. I use lots of wed moss and forrest litter in the landphase (raising tanks for juveniles) and the breeding tanks only get changed with fresh water in the spring time (many times shortly after each e other). I know it might sound silly but I think one of the problems with these guys in the past may have to be 'over-caring'. Also try to keep them not too warm. I keep them in a gardenhouse. In fact they resemble Ambystoma in so many ways :humidity, tank installation , food. Breeding ofcourse is somewhat different but not that much : they also need twigs and branches (like A. gracile for instance). If you need more info tell me ... or wait a bit to see my H. dunni care sheet I will post on caudata.org in a while (shpoudl have been finished already ... but I'm running late as ever).

    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.
