Sick Iredalei

[christyjade]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help (pretty please!) I went to clean out my snails last night to find my Iredalei sealed up (I actually thought he was dead!) but I put him in some warm water and he came out, looking quite skinny. He since then has been unable to climb or hold onto anything very well. I have put him in am empty box with lots of food and some water. Do you think there is anything wrong with him long term or will he just need some time to re-cooperate? I am really worried about him! I'm glad he is alive after thinking he was dead for a while...but I would like for him to be better ASAP. Should I keep him separate from my other snail (fulica)?? Any ideas on why he was sealed?

Thankyou x

keep him isolated with plenty of food and cuttlefish, keep the tank/box warm and moist. also try putting him on the food to encourage him to eat.

My first thought would be he's got too cold.....up the temp as much as you can and try keep him damp...
