So I go check my Rough skinned newts this morning. I find one of them dead!!
It really sucks!
I changed the water in the enclosure to see what was up, and boy did that water stink. Then I remembered that even though I had ment to change the water last week, its been a good 3 weeks since I last changed the water. This is all my fualt.
I hope the female isnt too affected, and that she will live on.
I've had such bad luck with newts.
I changed the setup too. Now instead of gravel I got about 3/4" of river bed sand, by exoterra. Hopefully this will keep the tank cleaner. Well it definitly looks better.
God I hope the other one doesn't die.
