We need to identify what they are before you choose to hatch them. If they are fulica you will have a lot of trouble trying to find homes for the babies.

if you jsut know them as african landsnail chnaces are they are L. fulica and these are quite hard to rehome and so you will end up with hundreds of babies if you chose to hatch them.

If you want to keep some then put a few eggs aside and freeze the rest

yeah, the snail shelter takes in loads of different bugs, a few hundred snails usually, and just because someone didnt want to freeze them shed get another 100 snails. thats why its better to ''dispose'' of them.

I would put them in a seperate pot in a warm place

I don't think its a good idea to hatch them in the hope of finding homes, and relying on the snail shelter. Just destroy the eggs you don't want. Keep a couple for yourself. There are already hundreds of fulica needing homes.

Wow, have they surfaced already? Lettuce and cuttlefish should be fine, although if it were me I'd be giving them different foods, get them used to it from the start you shouldn't get fussy eaters ;D
