Hey, got a question. My Spanish newts haven’t ate in over a week. I’ve tried switching to other foods from worms and still nothing....they’re in a 75 gallon paludarium and have been for 5 months. I own two females. I’ve seen them shed and are acting normal other than not eating. Swimming around, hiding in their caves, etc.

My ph and water parameters are fine as well as temp. I do water changes once a week. Very puzzled by this. If I drop a worm, they back away and shake their head or seem not interested. Last thing I’m trying is turning off the filter, as maybe they’re stressed by this.

    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.
