One month ago i took under my care 3 snail, 2 marginata and 1 tiny albino fulica. I ordered for them sphagnum moss and coir substrate, but delivery took a week and they were sitting on lettuce leaves for a week, before coir substrate arrived.
A very nice lady, who sold them to me, said, that they like to burrow in deep substrate.
Sterile coir substrate for reptiles, gals, etc. it says on the label and i prepared according to instruction using filtered water, but my snails hate it.
I filled the bottom of tank with it and placed snails on it, they went to the walls, i put them back, went to cuttlefish, put them back, went to moss...
I left it for 5 days, but little slimers, avoided it, like fire, finding ways to pass from one place to another and not to step on it.
Now, they got sphagnum moss bedding, which they love to sleep on and underneath it and eat a lot of it, leaving naked stems behind....
I just wonder, if it's healthy for them to eat it?
