Nokia died on friday..I have spent the worst easter hols ever..I am ill with some sort of chest infection and been stuck in the house and only wanting my bed..and also crying buckets full of tears for the little chap..we dont know what went wrong with him and a experianced Gal keeper told us we did everything right and everything we could for him..he was one of the young ones that failed to thrive..he only ate once some corgette and cuttlefish then went more and more inactive as the days went by we tried to persude him to eat but he seemed very tired and limp..he bucked up a little when we ran his shell under the warm tap on thursday..we put him in his dish with some cucumber but he just sat there for ages with his little face on it..after a while I spotted him stuggling to get out of his food dish to go back to sleep so I helped him..my last sight of him alive was his little body snuggling down in the warm peat to sleep..he remained there with only the tip of his bum sticking out and it was there he died..I only had him a short time but his little face will be with me forever..I can still picture the moment Daz took him out of his container he looked Daz right in the face then looked down at the floor as if to say..thats a long way down then he looked right back at Daz then down at the floor again..at that point Daz felt it best to put him down as he looked scared LOL sounds daft doent it but I think these snails have more expressions then our apple snails anyway those are my memories of the sweet little guy and we loved him while he was here..RIP little Nokia..Linda 
He left here a healthy happy snail (as Far as I was aware, I feel terrible for you, and quilty.
