One of the babies hatched yesterday, noticed it resting under the lid, it's so tiny! I know I can't pick it up till it's shell is hard enough. How long does it take till they are ready to be moved with the others or just ready to be picked up? I'm waiting for the rest to hatch now, 7 left now. I have a very thin see through material to go cover since I know the babies will get out through the tank's holes. It's breathable, don't worry! Some photos!~    |

Aah, they're so teeny! Congratulations! I gave them very small quantity of lettuce, seem the little one isn't eating the cuttlefish and the lettuce, does it take time till they feel hungry? This is my first time caring for baby snails, do you have any advice/tips? |

This is my first time caring for baby snails, do you have any advice/tips? Well, they've probably been munching on their eggshells, so they may not be hungry right now. I've never hatched any eggs, so I don't have any advice for you, sadly. I do wish you luck, though! |

So, are you going to keep them or release them?

So, are you going to keep them or release them? Planning to keep 4 or 5, the rest will be released when they look mature enough. Maybe, I might keep them all. |

make sure they can't escape through those airholes! I mentioned already that it's been covered by the thin fabric. Anyways, they are about a week old now so they have grown and can't go through the holes now. |
