Could you post a picture? It would really help us see what the problem is.

Because it could be any manner of things you understand.

i understand i will try to get 1 up as soon as they come out of their shells at the moment their not wanting to come out

[lee2211]

OK. Maybe giving a bath and putting out some nice food in a warm place will help

A lot of people have said bathing their snail in green tea is soothing for them. Perhaps you could try that.

Im gonna steal this thread a bit, hope you don't mind, just a quick question

With the green tea, would a normal tea bag like Lipton work or should it be well ''real'' lose tea?

[coyote]

I haven't tried this myself, but I would think that any green tea would be okay. If someone knows otherwise, please let us know what's the best one to use.

[lee2211]

I should think you'd just get the tea bag and sprinkle it into some warm water.

Any updates on the OPs snails? Pictures ect.

Just need to in photo hosting remember that it's better make pictures smaller with uploading tools and settings, it's really hard to look photo on small screen that is taken with really accurate camera. There's some settings that shrink photos nice size when choose right size for message broads etc.
