burying himself

[Katie]

my snail, Humbug, keeps burying himself in the compost so that only the tip of his shell can be seen, is this normal or am i doing something wrong?

Can i use compost even though it has John Innis in it?

What is this? Burying for some days is a normal behaviour. Always check the temperature and humidity, sometimes the snails bury when it's too cold/hot or the humidity is wrong. Watch your snails if they come out after some days to have some food.

ok thakyou, i spelt john innis it is actualy spelt john innes lol
Do you know how to measure the humidity lvl?
the temperature thingy still needs some time to start working. so my mum says anyway.

both ,my snails have come out now, i think it wasn't humid enough and i have put the heating on because the cage was not warm enough. XD

thank you
