is the new soil a new kind of soil, or just a new batch of what you usually use? if it is a different soil he might not like it, which might be why he wont move around much. just surround him with all different kinds of food and some cuttlefish and make sure water bowl isn't too far away. you could spray him with warm water to get him to come out and eat, maybe once a day, rather than bathing him as he might not like the change in temp outside his tank...i know my snails don't. if you know whether he was usually more active and eating more in the daytime or towards nighttime, you should try and spray him when he would usually come out. try and spray him at the same time each day as well, if you can. hope this helps a wee bit  and *good vibes* to Gary! |

Its the same soil but with the soil hes still going in the shell , but today ive moved him to a new storage box with compost, ive offered him alot of food non of it hes eating. Every day ive got him to come out once and today he stayed out longest just feeling food and looking round but not eating. I think he just needs time and care.
Sorry for the slow reply i totally forgot about this thread lol!
