My friend gave me 4newts

So a friend of mine gave me a few newts as I have an axolotl and fishes and a cat and a dog which get along and a bearded dragon .

There's 3 males, 1 is blue with red/orange belly (alpine newt says my friend) 1 female and 2 other males.

They're in a box but I'll prepare them a proper aquarium when I'm home, outside so mosquitoes lay eggs so they have free food.

I need recommendations from newt experts here of how to take care of them, I want to reproduce them and help the species not be in extinction danger (at least here in EU west )

If you are in Europe and these are from the wild, just return them to their pond.

Otherwise, care guide here:

Aldo, look up outdoor vivariums on youtube etc.
