Hi everyone,
these are my first newt babies. The parents are youngsters I only got last May when they were tiny terrestrial creatures. The first couple of larvae morphed at about 28mm but some of the ones remaining in water already have 30mm so I'm hoping there will be bigger morphs in the future.
The first one has been eating chopped earthworm and is looking good. The other ones are only freshly morphed so it's hard to tell how they'll do. I really hope these little guys grow well.
I had eggs from 2 females and I could see the difference. I believe all the healthy ones are from one female. The other one's eggs were getting mouldy in the beginning. Then they were developing but with malformations and if they managed to grow into bigger larvae, they got bloated. Well, at least she doesn't know or care.
Here's some photos:
