I thought fish were supposed to gobble them up? Since reading this
newsgroup I had given up hope of seeing them in that pond again. Maybe
my Shubunkins are too small to eat newts and are just eating a few
pellets at the moment, which seem to be about as big as they can
swallow. Maybe only bigger fish eat newts?

Last year I had a newt which was almost as big as my fish.
Unfortunately it tangled in my fountain impeller which had become
accidentally exposed. It can't happen again. Also last year I had lots
of baby newts.

I'd love to have a pond, but I have too many trees.

You might be able to have a little pond. I also have a small pond, not
much larger than a kitchen sink, and it has had newts and frogs in it
during the Summer.

Also, a cat tangled with my electric fence last night and sped off out
of my garden so fast you could hardly follow it on CCTV. Still no
foxes though.

Why do you want foxes?

No I don't. They attack my pond and pot plants, etc., hence the
electric fence. My CCTV has shown two foxes getting a shock from it
and since then their daily visits seem to have died away, hopefully.
