I have a question...

I've seen a few pictures of newt and salamander larvae posted with 10 or more in the same container. I'm wondering if there are any mishaps that occur during feeding (such as the larvae attacking one another thinking the other's arm or leg is food). If something like that does happen and the larvae happens to lose an appendage, will it grow back? I was just thinking about that while reading Jennifer's "Raising Newts from Eggs" article... I would like to raise little ones in the future.

So, can anyone answer that for me? Do larvae regenerate their limbs? Thanks!!

I have never had it happen to me, only when I ran outta food far about a week and then they started nipping off each others limbs, I had to seperate them and all the legs eventualy grew back
