I doubt snails have the mental capacity to feel true "loneliness", but it's true they act out more natural behaviours with company, so it's still beneficial. As for eggs, not really that big a deal - I just swish around in the substrate (I've learned to do it daily since the "accidental" hatching *lol*) and if there are any, take them out with a spoon and freeze them in a freezer bag. |
