I was cleaning my newts' tank today and when I was gonna get one of them (with a fishnet thing use for fish) I noticed that it didn't have its legs! It looks kinda white where it had it. I don't know what to do. I have two newts are they get along pretty good, they don't fight or anything like that, so I can't say the other one ripped off its leg (or hand?).
Here are some pictures I took of the newt. (I couldn't find if I'm allowed to post links to pictures or not. If not, I'm really sorry).

Thank you. Since the incident happened, its hand its growing back :D
But my newt doesn't it. I tried feeding him blood worms and doesn't eat them anymore. It used to eat them when I got them first but not anymore. Its so skinny I'm afraid it might die :(

Looks like it has either been in a fight with the other newt or got it trapped in something.

I'm not 100% but I believe it will grow back. (I know axies grow limbs back)

You will just have to keep an eye on it and seperate him from the other if you see anymore violence as he'll be more vulnerable at the moment.
