hi me again, we have been movin our deck in our garden and my step-dad spotted a newt under some slabs that have been there like 4 years also i rescued two frogs and one has come back a lot bigger is it ok that a put the newt in water and moved it from under the slabs?

So long as you put it in a pond and not in a bucket, then I think it's OK!!

an updat the newt is healthy and after searching for anything harmful in the pond found three more so we have 4 newts and 2 of them have lumbs under their tails and they are smaller then the other 2 does that mean that they are boys and girls or is it just odd?

Seems like you could have both sexes here. A bit late for them to breed this year, but maybe next? They will come out of the pond later in the summer & spend a lot of time on dry land. If you haven't already, then get some Canadian pond weed (elodea crispa) - it's got little curly leaves & is ideal for newts to lay their eggs (they lay them individually, wrapped round by a leaf.).
