Hello All
Yesterday I purchased 4 Jap.F. Newts and 3 of them are missing either toes or entire front legs......one is missing all its toes on front leg, the other one is missing toes and hand on front arm and the third guy has almost no arm with a little white bit sticking out...(bone?). All three are still using there arm.
I know I am an idiot for not checking.....but besides that, what can I do for them. What can I expect to happen from this? I am finding that I really like these guys, quite the cuties.
They havent eatten yet, but i have offered food(bloodworms, frozen). They are not aggressive towards each other, bright eyed and somewhat active (mostly basking, except for one...swimming) and housing wise....40gallon long breeding tank, with a filter set up on driftwood to replicate a stream (softer output) there is ludwigia, hornwort, a anubis I think, and wisteria. There are 3 pieces of drift wood for them to climb on. The substrate is natural coloured gravel, there is a light and the water level is about 9-11inches. Oh temp is at about 72-74F.
The largest of these guys (the one with the missing toes) is the largest at perhaps 2-3inches.
Any help is appreciated....thanks
