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 👍🏻
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?
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
Paranoid Reggie yes live food you need live daphnia go to your nearest pond and catch some put some pond water in a bucket and culture your daphnia in there
@@UkAmphibians okay thanks . what water should i use if was to add more water to the eggs i have a back garden pond and tropical fish and a frog tank should i take the water from one of them do you think or bottled water
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?
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?
Hi thanks for your lovely comment yes unfortunately snails eat eggs. Best food for efts is daphnia really when they are so small if you can get some more pond plants out if your pond there’s possibly more eggs there. They might even be some larger efts in the pond if you net them out that you can raise in a tank 🐸💚🐸
@@UkAmphibians Thanks so much! Amazingly quite a lot have hatched and are enjoying both daphnia and the seed shrimps I have been catching from a local pond. (I didn't know what seed shrimps were until now! Everyday's a school day... Am thoroughly enjoying this experience.) Thanks again :)
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 .
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.
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
This isn't giving a "helping hand to our native amphibians", moving eggs between ponds can be very harmful. Any herp conservation group or org will tell you this. As well as the potential to move invasive non natives like alpine or marbled newts around, there is also diseases like Chytrid to consider.

Try to separate if you can
Love this thank you
Thankyou please subscribe 🐸💚🐸
great video thankyou
Thankyou

Hi Thankyou for your lovely words
why do you have to separate them ?
So they don’t eat each other 🐸💚🐸

Thankyou please subscribe if you haven’t done already

does it have to be live food also in the beginning ,

You don't have any issue with predators (ie. water boatmen) colonising the outdoor daphnia ponds?
Hi sometimes so I have to fish the boatmen out if I do

Hi Thankyou yes mosquito larvae is good see if you can order daphnia online too
I’d keep them separate to the frogs though 🐸💚🐸

It’s frogspawn tadpoles have gills when they first hatch and loose them as they get bigger

Hi it won’t be larvae that kills them could be nitrates in water I always use fresh rainwater every few days
Oh, that's a nice culture of Daphnia; so clear, clean and so conveniently nettable.😉👍🏻
Thankyou yes the newts love it 🐸💚🐸
When Hyla arborea update?
Rybol soon I’ll keep you posted
This is useful my smooth newts just laid eggs.
That’s brilliant please subscribe and if you need any help please don’t hesitate to ask 🐸💚🐸
Can u link me to the net I can never get a good net to catch them small things
Dark 3ra's Realm type brine shrimp net or fine tropical fish net on eBay
Love this! Very useful and informative. Hopefully this will help others to give a helping hand to our native amphibians. Thanks for sharing.
