Hi,
Ive rescued this snail about 3mounths ago , i was digging a hole and he was buries there, i ecciddently broke a bit of his shell and it was summer so itook him to heal . even though the injury seemed pretty minor he was doing very bad.. he didnt came out for more then 24 hours barley responding to touch ,hten he started to come out but was moving very slowly having his eyestalk semi retarcted all the timeor "alling" dowm like his too weaak hold them. day by da he was getting better and after around a week started to eat and seemed ok. he started to heal his shell injury ,but very slowly. about six weeks after that he had an episode when its seemed like he tried to do aestivation but for some reason didnt succed and after that he was again in this bad state.. again a few days and he got better. it happpend again 3 weeks later .. and since then he was ok.during all of this time he didnt fifnshed to repair the shell injury, which other snails seems to heal this kinfd of injury after a week tops, and he didnt grow any new shell even though m pretty sure that he is getting bigger.he is with 2 other snails and they seems the same size but his shell is much smaller then theirs.
Yesterday He had another epsisode, only this time i found him fulll with bubbles and mucus..i washed him and hes in the same bad state.. hes very stiff and barley responding to touch.
I feed him a varieted diet with lettuce ,arugula, cabbage,carrots, sweet peppers, apells,pears and cat food about once a week, and he has plenty of cuttlebone.
Heres a pic from 2 days after ive found him
Heres a pic from today:
Did anyone see anything like this? Do you have any ideas how to hlp to him?
Thank you
