Hiya all ;D Bit quiet on here at the moment, so thought I'd give us something to chat about. How are all the baby GALS cos I know theres alot of babies at the moment.  Mine are all great. ;D I'm especially pleased with how the tigers are doing, I had expected them to be difficult, but they are little piggies and very active, growing well. The dimidiata are getting so big now, they don't eat quite as much as they did, but are growing really well and again - very active. Iredalei are frowing mega fast and eat sooooo well, whatever you put in front of them, they really aren't fussy. The baby margies I got saturday are lovely, they are eating ok, still settling in I think, very busy little things though and so cute. As for ventricosa, awwwwwwwww my pride and joys lol. They are adorable. After 2 days of being shy and not eating they are now brilliant, eat well and tour the tank each day. They are funny things, they slime about with their tails curled up behind them lol. So thats my babies, all is good in Nats Nursery ;D lmao How are all the others ? Nat  |

I only have baby dimidiata at the moment :-) They are eating lots and especially like the middle of cucumber and hemp ooh and they love cuttlefish which i supposed is most important for growth, they are about 2cm now apart from one who is only 1cm and has been that way since i got them a little worrying but i'll keep an eye on him, maybe i'll give him a name as i can tell him apart from the others :-D and like yours they take a tour of the tank every night it should be really good for them when they are moved into their new bigger tank, they can build up a strong foot.
As for my Fulica well they aren't really babies anymore nearing 6 months now but hay they're all my babies at the end of the day :-)
And i might as well mention my margies even though they are adults, but they are doing fine like the others and are being moved into a large tank today :-D can't wait to see what they think of it.

My tiger babies are all doing really well. I have them in a smaller tub than I did and this has helped a lot. Easier to find them and they seem less inclined to burrow all the time.
The 2 remaining dimidiata I have are the same as always, eating machines....
My new Pleurodonte babies, of which there is only 5 so far are growing at a tremedous rate, probably doubled in size in 10 days or so.
My new ventricosa is like my older one, very active doing laps of the tank and I have noticed the upturned foot when he's moving around.
No news on the Zachrysia eggs yet.....
My stuhlmanni are nearly fully grown now, but my panthera and reticulata are slow growing but still doing well.
All my other snails are doing great except my papyracea who has been acting very odd since I got him. Very inactive and very little appetite.

All is well is Vals nursery also. ;D
