2 snails immediantly upgraded to 8! *gulp*

I already had 2 snails... now, I have 8. Today, at recess (yes I am that young) Girls were hovering arounf the rocks and grass. They were finding bugs and killing them! they found snails... Buh bye snails. BUt then they dropped one. I grabbed with all my might! I GOT IT! into the cell-phone compartment in my purse it went! They foun another. They wouldn't let me get it. They hit it with a rock. I cried. Then every time they found a snail they put it in my bag. My science teacher (he rocks) I asked him if i could barrow his bug thing "why?" ... I have snails...... he gave me a cup and a rubber band.. I got a tissue and made the tissue the lid.... How do I take care of 6 new snails?

Well if they were small or just a normal helix aspersa you could put them in a tank with your other snails if you have any. If they are just tiny just put them in a tub with a lid with hles in and some food. If yo are sure you are going to keep them buy a tank

Thank you snailgirl23! I changed the substate from a bark carpet to organic soil from walmarts. Well my Daddy did last night! Any other ideas? oh, the biggest new one is a little it snaller than a cm.

Aww so sad that they where killing those bugs =/ I think that you should avoid killing any kind of animal even if it is a nasty bug as much as possible Good that you saved some snails at least Just dont forget to get them calcium, cuttlefish is a good and cheap source of calcium, and for garden snails, it will last them ages

Yeah bumblebee is right. Well i had a snail that was smaller than a pea (Mystica but i let her free!) You should give them a tank maby quite big but not too big so they have lots of space and give them cuttle dampen the soil but keep itwarm and they should be alright! feed them courgette insted of cucumber courgette has more nutrients
