This morning I found two snails on our path which were stepped on but not dead. I tried to save hem by feeding them, keeping them wet and giving them a nice space. However, they didn't seem to feel okay at all. One wouldn't open its eyes and the other kept falling over. The one had most of his house lost, the other had some guts coming out. ;-; It was sad. I had hoped to save them but they didn't seem save-able. So I did what was best and "euthanized" them like advised on the petsnails website. Would probably have been more cruel to let them live and die slowly. Wasn't easy to do though, poor little things. So, rest in peace little snails. My heart is a little sad today. Does anyone have a nice story to share of broken snails that did make it? Can use some encouragement ^_^ perhaps I can save a snail in the future.

I know how you feel. You did what you could, and a swift death was much better than lying there and suffering.

I think you did what you must. It's better than their natural fate would've been (cooked on a sidewalk) and so I'm sure you helped them out. Rest in peace.
