Feeding with Xenopus

[Stefan-A]

I also had to use the dwarfs for the hognose as well and didn't see any real difference....they both went down and stayed down with out any worries. As far as Bombina...these guys are REALLY toxic, even to the point where I've heard of people who've handled them having a reaction to there secreations.....think the same can go for the (Cynops...think that's the species...not as good with newts)newts as well. Don't know if I'd risk it.

I wouldn't risk it either, but I hadn't heard of anybody getting reactions. I certainly didn't get any. People also say that you shouldn't keep Cynops with fish, because the secretions will kill them, but back in the day when I kept them together (didn't know any better), that certainly didn't happen.

I guess you really are supposed to avoid everything in nature that's red & black.
