Ive had 4 red elf newts for about 6 weeks now .....

[sam]

And there doing great! Thanks to all of your help. I am experenced now and am very attached to them. there so cute. SO anyways the other day i was cleaning there tank for the first time. And as i was taking out some moss i looked at the soil and there i saw these little clear balls... there was 5. So i didnt think of anything and picked up the other moss patches, there was more and more. I picked one up it was very small but sticked to my finger. There in the middle was a little whitish spot... they were all diffrent. In the tank i had some slugs to controll the wasts of the newts. That worked great. And also some ants which the newts ate few of later i learned they dont like them as much as worms. So i am very confused about what the heck the white balls were. i was going to save them in and put them back in the tank but later after i was done cleaning the tank and everything they were gone. I lost them

I was so mad because i was going to take a picture and show you all but i cant now. PLEASE HELP ME!!

I want my newts to breed

Firstly I think you mean "red efts" not "elfs"!.The eggs were probably slugs eggs so I wouldnt worry too much about them.

Sorry I forgot to add,if they are efts it means they are juvenile and so they wont breed until they are adults.Check this care sheet it will tell you all about them.

Sam, it's great that you are interested in breeding them. But success in breeding newts and salamanders often takes years. Have patience! You are starting with newts that are still in their childhood. After they become aquatic, then you can think about breeding. Here is some more information for you:

they were either the slug, ant, or newt eggs, and they were gone because your newt got a little hungry. they wont hesitate to eat their own eggs, it's actually a treat.
