They are nocturnal, so you'll pretty much see them only during late evening or night. Are you supplying any source of calcium for them? If not, make a visit to your local petstore and pick up a cuttle bone (Would most likely be in the bird section)
BTW, Adorable names! My 2 still don't have names haah.

Hi, I'm new too. My daughter's snail has been happy for some time with us, but has recently started burying itself, gone off its food (favourite cucumber), and has some white goo coming out now and then. We make sure the tank is clean, sprayed regularly, has good compost, a heat mat and food is always available....I've also noticed that the new edge of the shell appears turned inwards? Does anyone know what's going on? Our local vet was unable to advise.
