We only put the pond in last june, already we have frogs and newts but to my suprise today when i was doing some pond maintence up popped lots of baby newts!!! i also have a home made water butt thingy which the last time i was doing the pond i put some fairy moss in this tub of water to make sure i hadn't killed anything by taking it out of the pond, i went to use the water to refill the pond when up popped more baby newts!!! they are sooo cute, the adults are still in the pond aswell as the frogs! the newts appeared in spring, they are smooth newts. i was amazed pond had been in less than a year! and now to have babies!! WOW.. someone who lives half way down the road used to get them in his koi pond apparently he was upset he didn't get them this year!

    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.
