Hi everyone, On a recent morning, I was taking care of my snails and they had pretty funny reactions (I usually do it in the evening, before going to bed). I feel like sharing them. Here they are: Rainbow: Moss is so comfortable, but I want to see outside! Peanut: I just want to lay eggs, I don't hide any bad secrets, I promess! Marble: Hey, Cappuccino, you're blocking my path! I know that Cappuccino left, but I'm too lazy to move! Lemonade: MUST... EAT... EVERY... SINGLE... TURTLE... PELLET... Choco: No, I won't move! My shell's too warm and cozy! All right, you win! But you've cheated by putting me in the bathtub! What is a pizza doing here?!?!?! Have a nice day! Seastar

There are a few more pics! Peanut (not in the picture): Ever heard of a snowman? All of the others: No, but does it look like this? Cappuccino: SHOWER!!!!!! Peanut: No thanks, I'm hungry. Choco: ''yamns'' Goodnight! Rainbow, Lemonade and Marble: Can we have a taste of this paper towel? And an old pic, not from yesterday! It seems that everyone here likes pizza! Seastar

So adorable! I wish I could find some of that species here in California! What kind of turtle pellets do you feed them? I've been looking for a good kind but whenever I read the ingredients it mine as well be in another lanaguage it's all chemicals so I never feel confident enough I'm choosing the right one

Hi GailTheSnail, Thank you for liking the pictures! How are your snails doing? To answer to your question, I use Nutrafin MAX turtle pellets. It's a cup with a turtle drawed on it and a white top. You can slide the top a bit to let the pellets go (I'll post a picture if you want). You can find them in pet shops (at least, that's where we buy them, my sister and I). There are much protein in them, and my snails (especially Lemonade) like it A LOT. My sister's snails like it too. She's once put some in the food dish, and when she's closed the container, they've "raced" to get in it! It was impressive and very funny! Anyway, it's my snail's favorite food (except for Marble, who prefers toilet paper - lol) and when they eat some, there's lots of poop! 💩 Hope it helps! Thanks again for liking the pics. Seastar

Seastar Yes thank you!! If you could post a picture that would be awesome! Have you tried oatmeal soaked in water? All of my snails absolutely LOVE it, it's the only time they will line up and eat quietly without crawling all over each other lol but I always like finding new foods to give them since I feel like they need stuff like that to stay interested so I've been wanting to find something good and nutrition packed like that. Also do you soak it in water or just feed it dry?

Hi GailTheSnail, Here's a picture! It's not the only size. I can't remember exactly where my sister and I buy it, but our snails like it A LOT. You just have to put some and soak it a little. Then, you have to clean up all of the poop! And yes, I've given my snails some oatmeal plenty of times, but they're not very fond on it. Plus, I prefer not to put too much of it, because it smells awful. Seastar
