Behaviour of Baby-Tigers okay?

[cleo]

Good morning to all,

I try to express myself in my "school-english", so please excuse me, if not everything's allright...

I got 5 little tiger-babies (about 3 cm). The last 2 days I didn't see them, they're still in the ground and didn't come out. They live together with my Arch. purpurea-babies, and they always come out every evening and look for the food, but the tigers don't. Should I look for them and offer food to them or should I leave them in the ground?
I also got 5 big tigers, and they come out every evening and also eat every night. Now I'm unsure what to do with the little ones.

Keep the babies in very shallow substrate making it just a little deeper at one end or put some spaghnum moss in the corner for them to burrow in, when you feed them lift the little ones on to the food to encourage them to eat. If you slice the food thinly it makes it easier for them.

Thank you for your advices, Val ! I just had to use my dictionary, I didn't know the word "shallow", now I know
The tiger-babies live in a 40x40 cm-tank with the other snails. Do you think, this tank is too big for the tiger-babies?

I think that it's a good size for them to be in.....
