Supporter Helen Posted July 28, 2010 Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2010 okay.. i haven't seen that before.. but please understand, they've been shipped.. and like gf, tend to get stressed from all the movement and possible throwing around.. so do give them a little time to get settled.. can you blanch some spinach or cucumer? they go crazy for that stuff. if you can boiling some water from your tank (don't use tap water) and blanch some spinach or cucumber for a few minutes, take it out from the hot water, let it cool and finally pin it down to the bottom of the tank somewhere secure where it won't float to the surface.. this may encourage them to come out from their shells.. the veggies need to be softened just a little bit. not too much as snails do have sharp teeth.. here, see what i mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member 2008paul Posted July 28, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ye thank you. I'll do that for them, I always wounded how to give them cucumber when it floats, and now I know. Thanks again. Paul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Chrissy_Bee Posted July 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2010 I agree with Stakos, try to give them some food and then wait and see. Like fish, snails need time to adjust to new conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
