I was feeding the snails today and I noticed, my tiger is missing! His shell is left but the body's gone...  He was there yesterday but now I can't find him! I've kept him with fulica, reticulata, stuhlmanni, smithii, iredalei and margies. What have happened to my sweet little Dunderklumpen?! |

Annelie, sometimes when baby snails die they shrink way way back in their shells and you can't see their bodies at all. I'm sorry Annelie.

Do you mean that they are still in the shell but long in, or that they shrink to like... nothing? (I know, I'm so smart today... :  Cause I can see through his shell if I hold it at a lamp or something  |

I noticed this with the baby tigers. The body shrinks to almost nothing so it does look like an empty shell. I'm sorry to hear about it  |
