I'm new to the whole snail game, I've got 2 at the moment (approx 4 months old so they're still quite diddy. One of them is always up and about and seems really happy and eats a lot! The other one is less active, I rarely see him out unless I wake him up and he's not grown as big as the other! Was just wondering if this is just a case of snail personalities or what?
Ironically though, right now the little ones awake and the biggun just won't do anything!
Any tips and tricks for a beginner would be lovely!
Not entirely sure what species they are, but from looking at pics etc I would assume achatina fulica
Also, they've started pooping ALOT, and it's always stuck to them and a bit gross. I clean them off as best I can but they're just poop machines! Is this just expected as they mature or am I feeding them particularly fibrous foods? (they seem to love good old fashioned dandelion leaves but I do make sure I vary what I give them with cucumber & kiwi & apple and stuff like that)
Thanks!!
