Didn't notice it until just now, but I was looking at that last pic and found to my delight that there are 8 instead of 7. One seems to have been thrown in for free!
They're fairly plump, healthy-looking and absolutely gorgeous. Will start them out on crickets but today I also received a fruit fly culture so will try that as well. Hopefully they'll also take to hand-fed bloodworm.
Paris, I read an article today on how live tubifex frequently introduce tapeforms and other parasites. I'm going to rinse my worms better from now on, but don't know if that'd make much of a difference if the tapeworms or eggs are carried INSIDE the tubifex.
Interesting what your vet said about stress-induced illness (though I never noticed any aggressive tendencies among the 3 newts in question). Looked up some info about Batryl and it seems it's available from my local vet. Thanks!
P.S.: John C., suppose you could knock out that double-posted pic for me? And there's another double-posted pic in the latest P.hongkongensis thread...TKS!

Hi I have just got 2 marbled newts they are still very young and to be honest when I brought them I wasn't really told much about them I was wondering if anybody could give me some information about them, at the min I am feeding them size 4 crickets and they are getting quite fat, all I know is how to feed them and what temp to keep them at, so any other info would be great. Thanks
