New Arrival!

This is Jim!! He arrived friday morning and he's so so cute!!
I decided to get another Fulica to keep Bob company,seen as Vic has been in intensive care for 3 weeks and we don't know if he'll make it or not!
So Jim is about 3-4 years old,but as you can see from the 2nd picture,he is alot smaller than Bob who is 3 years old!

So they're just getting to know each other....happy snails!! :)

Poorly Land Snail.

So Vic my biggest Fulica has been ill for the past 3 weeks! He's been looking on and off like this and hasn't eaten a thing.I give him warm baths to wake him up but he's just not interested in food and keeps retracting again.
He's also gone from weighing 11oz to just 7 1/2 oz.
So at the moment he's in a tank on his own,being kept extra warm,but not sure if he'll pull through or not :(

Tiger update!

Just a quick update on my Tiger Snails....
They're growing nicely now, although Kebab is the biggest still,Donna has a bit of catching up to do!
They're loving cucumber at the moment and the odd piece of apple is a fave as well.They keep nibbling away at the cuttlefish as well to keep their shells growing. :)

Tiny tigers!

My new tiny tiger snail babies certainly have alot of growing to do!.....here they are both sitting on a piece of cucumber...when fully grown,each one should have a shell measuring approx 14cm!!....
better get eating guys! :)

Tiger babies!

Look what arrived this morning! 2 gorgeous Tiger snail babies (achatina achatina).
Now named Donna & Kebab!

More Garden Snails!

We've got a small family of garden snails living in a plant pot just outside our door! Here's one of them tucking into the lettuce that I've given them.........well it's better than them eating our chilli plants that we keep outside! :)
