Pushing the gross-out threshhold

Hi Anne-Marie!
I am indeed giving it a go. That and slugs, anything for those newts. I have a bin outiside with soil and newspapers and fruit, and I put in worms from the garden and also worms that I got at the pet store, which were reddish. So I think I have two types in there, I don't know how that'll work out (two kinds breeding, or interbreeding). So far there are a good number of worms in there whenever I check. Since the weather's nice, I try to get worms from the garden when I feed, and if I can't get enough, then I raid the culture.
I feed both cultures a lot of overripe fruit and veggies: whenever I'm at work, I clean out the community fridge where everyone always leaves food to let it go bad! Two birds with one stone: clean fridge, free food.

    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.
