Try putting them in a food tub, like those you get from the chinese. I keep my baby pomatia in there and they seem to like it fine, then as they grow just give them more and more space  Last time I had baby snails I tried keeping them in a larger tub and the mortality rate seemed to be a lot higher, even though there weren't any adults in there. Personally I wouldn't keep hatchlings in with adults. |

Ok thanks  so should I take the snails out? Because at the minute I've punched afew holes into the bottom of the tub with out the lid and just placed it lightly over them, or should I actually take them out of the adults enclosure? |

The problem might be that your adults will probably be digging around and knocking everything over in their path, so the eggs and hatchlings would be safer in their own tank, and it would also be easier for changing food and cleaning.

Personally I'd always take them out because it's like searching for a needle in a haystack when they all hatch into a large tank! But some people swear by leaving the eggs where they were laid. I don't think there's a right or wrong thing to do, but I always take the eggies out |
