 You have my utmost sympathy and I can only suggest seperating them and
playing hell with the person you bought them off. Are they the same size? I
know large goldfish bully the smaller ones in the tank, maybe it's the same
with newts. Any one who has been following the story probably will not be
shocked, and this just goes to illustrate that fish, amphibians and
reptiles are not good pets for children, the fainthearted or people who get
emotionally attached to their creature friends.

Does the whole world have similar pet crisis or do Belle and Sebastian do
something to their poor little brains?

I hope things turn out ok,

Vicky
