General Care
To look after your snails couldn't be easier. For their daily care, they just need some fresh food placed inside, any old uneaten food taken out. They need to have a constant supply of cuttlefish for calcium for their shell growth. They also need their homes misted once or twice a day with a water mister, to keep humidity up and wake them up. They will also need a heat mat in their home during the cold winter months. Below you can find a word document which has a lot more detail about the care of these wonderful creatures. Please download it and take a read of it before purchasing any snails.
