Re: Sinister: Newts
Don't worry it's common Newt behaviour, the matting seasons been and gone and now they have nothing left to do but fight. By the way don't talk about it too much as it's illegal to keep most newts! I have to African firebellied newts and they're always at it, fighting I mean! One usually starts to swallow the other ones head before I take action. Just make sure they are separated when you feed them so that they are getting enough food each (the bigger one will eat it all otherwise!) Rob D xxx P.S. Aren't I supposed to say something B&S related? P.S. I just did so there! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

so what happens after the matting season. perhaps the shag-pile carpet season. that should make them feel more relaxed. I have to African firebellied newts

surely the bigger one won't be able to eat all the food if it's got the smaller one's head in its mouth. that begins to look to me like intelligent posiitoning on the small one's part sorry, i never say anythign b&s related. so, just for a change, i'd like to say how wonderful the bit on the state that i am in (dog version) is when stuart has something in his throat and is all husky ('she was not impressed'. a butch espadrille ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Yeah well you'll notice I did when I mentioned newts, but Linda failed that test - think I'll chuck her off the list. We could call the newts "Bill" and "Sebast Ian" then she'd be in the clear. I could on the other hand make this a "Belle and Sebastian and Newts" mailing list, crikey it nearly became a lemur one a few times. Vicky and all thanks for your newt-based concern, the newts are happier now and not eating each other; they seem to be intact, and are swinging from the plants like monkeys. Scary though, Big Thelma is a greedy sod and Wee Bobbie looks a bit shaken. Rob - I'm glad there's another newt worrier on the list, Linda will be on for advice. I don't like the idea of separating them to feed though. Hmm. Still when you're feeling crap and got nothing better to do all day but to sit around refereeing newt fights then I suppose it's time well spent. I did like Nick's idea though - a moderated newt tank. I'm going to shut up about newts now. unsubscribe sinister bob-n-thelma Honey xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
