How to raise Newts / efts and Axolotls Salamanders from eggs to newt, Care tips and advice 

Nice explanation 👍🏻 I do the same for my young axolotl. I culture the daphnia in my water butts. I also give newt efts and frog tadpoles a helping hand in containers to keep them isolated from predators until they are more developed and returned to the ponds. Thanks for sharing, nice video 👍🏻

Oh, that's a nice culture of Daphnia; so clear, clean and so conveniently nettable.😉👍🏻

Love this thank you

We have a small pond nearby, that is actually on a small construction site. A house was torn down a couple years ago and will be built up -- eventually. For whatever reason the owners have let it sit. Sand/stones were laid over after most rubble was cleared, but it has settled and a shallow pond has formed since last year. Cool! Water levels can fluctuated A LOT though. Rain means it'll be just below your knees, one long curved pond. But periods of warm and sun will shrink it to just about ankle level and split it into two small ponds with spongy boggy parts. At some point this will all be built on. We've had tadpoles and frogs, but this year... you guessed it: newts! Right now dozens of them. I scooped out five and plan to return them when they are grown. But the water does not have a reliable amount of daphnia. Will they be OK with mosquito larvae from a petfood store? Also, can they share a tank with a couple small froglets? (Soon to be released themselves) Or will they try to gobble each other?

nice advice

Thankyou for this video. I have found great crested newts in my garden, they are very rare here so I have made a few ponds and will give them a helping hand come March.

Love this! Very useful and informative. Hopefully this will help others to give a helping hand to our native amphibians. Thanks for sharing.

Have you ever rescued a large egg mass like spotted salamanders lay? Mine are about to hatch but don't know what to do about having so many at once (50-80) and I've heard they cannibalize?

great video thankyou

Nice video. Thanks

This is useful my smooth newts just laid eggs.

You don't have any issue with predators (ie. water boatmen) colonising the outdoor daphnia ponds?

hey bro, I just hatched some salamanders and im planning on keeping 2 of them as pets. anny tips on what to feed them when the morph to land form?

hello from Greece thank you for your amazing videos that help us a lot i would like to ask you something that it really surprise me when i notice that hundred of my new hatched newt are suddenly dead and disappeared ...its possible the mosquito larvae kill all my new hatched newts ?? thanks in advance Yiorgos

Hi there, thanks so much for this brilliant video. I am trying to hatch some newt eggs which I have taken from my own pond. I am selling the house and wish to translocate a few at the end of summer in case something happens to the pond in the future. I have discovered that the small ramshorn snails (there's a lot in the hornwort in the tank) are eating the eggs. Have you come across this? I have only a few eggs left now...I have fished these out and put in a smaller container. Also I have heard small bloodworm are a good source of food for the efts?

Can u link me to the net I can never get a good net to catch them small things

Hi I rescued what I thought was frogspawn but it's some type of newts because they have little gills on side of there head they are totally black not transparent like other newt young I have seen any idea what species this could be .

i want a salamander, they look wicked

I have just purchased some alpine newts eggs off ebay as i can't find these anywhere, how would I go about adding water to them and water changes , are they easy to raise only thing I have done like this is cory eggs. Do they need an air line in the water when they first hatch

When Hyla arborea update?

why do you have to separate them ?

Ever tried collecting daphnia eggs?
