Ive rescued hin about a week ago frim the street cuz he had a small break in his shell and its summer now. he repair his shell in a few days and he was active and feeding good untill yeaterday. yesterday i found him near the wll of the box semi retracted nor attached to anything. he didnt responded much just retracted a bit with touch. im pretty sure he didnt eat that day. after that i moved him to a new clean box without food. since then he is all the time semi retarcted not moving on his own. 2 hiurs ago i noticed this weired thing appeared from the connection ofbhis foot to the mentle but in other side then where to anus is. now there are more things appearing them and they look like poop. what do you think is it and what do tou think can help treat him? thank you

thanks for replying, can you please explain on based on are you saying that? from what i read amd saw its just repeling them by causing some kind of annoying feeling to theyr foot, probebly due to some small electrical reaction between the copper and theyr slime

Hi, ive found this slug on my floor yesterday. he is very not active, didnt produce slime when i picked him and barley moved. iput him in a container with water and hunidity assuming he might be dehydrated. after a few hours i think i saw some improvment with his activity and his ability to stick on surfaces, but since then there isnt much improvment and he isbt eating. he has these weired wrinkles and bludges on his skin and mentle. what do you think it is? do you have any ideas how to help him? thank you pictures in the link

umm its intersting things.. its seems to me unlikely mainley due to the fact iv been rescuig sanils fro a long time , aout 30 of them were with shell injuries,all of them held in the same conditions, and ive never seen this. another thing is that this behavior and weakness episodes happned at first at the day ive found him while we were still outside. and about the cabbage thing- in al the time he is here i only fed him cabbage twice..

Hi, Ive rescued this snail about 3mounths ago , i was digging a hole and he was buries there, i ecciddently broke a bit of his shell and it was summer so itook him to heal . even though the injury seemed pretty minor he was doing very bad.. he didnt came out for more then 24 hours barley responding to touch ,hten he started to come out but was moving very slowly having his eyestalk semi retarcted all the timeor "alling" dowm like his too weaak hold them. day by da he was getting better and after around a week started to eat and seemed ok. he started to heal his shell injury ,but very slowly. about six weeks after that he had an episode when its seemed like he tried to do aestivation but for some reason didnt succed and after that he was again in this bad state.. again a few days and he got better. it happpend again 3 weeks later .. and since then he was ok.during all of this time he didnt fifnshed to repair the shell injury, which other snails seems to heal this kinfd of injury after a week tops, and he didnt grow any new shell even though m pretty sure that he is getting bigger.he is with 2 other snails and they seems the same size but his shell is much smaller then theirs. Yesterday He had another epsisode, only this time i found him fulll with bubbles and mucus..i washed him and hes in the same bad state.. hes very stiff and barley responding to touch. I feed him a varieted diet with lettuce ,arugula, cabbage,carrots, sweet peppers, apells,pears and cat food about once a week, and he has plenty of cuttlebone. Heres a pic from 2 days after ive found him Heres a pic from today: Did anyone see anything like this? Do you have any ideas how to hlp to him? Thank you

Hi, i have a garden snail tht ive rescued a few mounths ago that had a snail injury. He finished repairing his shell about 3 mounths ago. he is not a grown snail, probebly around a half of the size of grown one, even so he dosent grow. he eats and poops fine and i feed him a diverse diet with greens like lettuce and arugula and cabbage, fruits, and every once in a while cat food for protein. he also has cuttlebone for calcium. Im trying to think if theres a problem, and what is the reason he isnt grwoing

You dont understand his state.. hes behavior is as he is dying. when he tries to extract his eye stalksthey bend down as he is to weak to hold them. he isnt holding the floor , too weak to move himself.. theres something very wrong with him
