I have 5 of the little darlings already, since I recieved them from paul they have grown loads. They have massive appetites too LOL. They love oats particularly. actually i have never owned a snail that didnt love oats! as it was so hot today we had salad and so did the snails! They really enjoyed that. dessert was melon chunks! ;D

Mine are growing at a phenomenal rate also. I am quite astonished really, it always seems that fulica have the reputation of greed, I suppose it is because they are so successful. But my stuhlmanni and dimidiata make them look fussy both in quantity and variety paul

Basically its a case of making porriage without the milk! just add 1measure of oats to 2 measures of water, put in a cup and mircowave! let it cool down and serve. the snails love it! i made them a plateful and they completely demolished it!

Not at all, they seem to have a remarkable knack of sliming over things and avoiding getting any on them, well if it is under foot anyhow lol.
