Hi all
I used to keep my fulicas in sphagnum peat moss bedding, but I've now moved to trying out Coir. I've noticed that they seem to stay buried a lot more now. A friend who had one of our fulica babies has just told me the same. His snail stays buried, even to the extent of coming out to grab hold of a piece of lettuce and drag it over to the hole!
I've heard that sphagnum moss is a bit acid and that some snails might be adverse to it. Is it possible that that's why they now bury themselves more than they used to, because the bedding is more comfortable? The temperature is fine by the way.
