Whehey!!! I'm so glad they arrived okay! And I'm really chuffed you like them.
Lisa'll tell you all about what the margies and tigers like, but the fulicas like sweet potato, courgette, red/yellow pepper, melon, peach/nectarine, all sorts. The fulicas are absolute piglets I warn you *lol*. They also go mad for your snail mix!
Lisa and I are away for the weekend as from tomorrow lunchtime, so if you need any advice, grab them lot on Petsnails (or if you want I can PM you my mobile number?).
So chuffed that you're happy!!

God you dont know how hard it's been to keep this secret *lmao* I've got a big mouth, so when I was asked to keep it shut, I dont know how I managed it! ;D Glad you like them  The margies and tigers love sweet potato (sliced up, raw), little gem lettuce, courgette (raw, sliced), apple, bananas - all sorts - oh and the odd serving of chick mash or snail mix  The margies and tigers will like it a bit wetter in their tank/viv than the fulicas, but fulicas are hardy little things, so they can adapt if you're keeping them together. All snails are different though, and you might find some sort of middle ground? While it's been hot they've not had a heat mat, but when it gets nippier, they like to be kept at about 24-26 degrees C. I'm so pleased you like them, got a big grin on my face knowing they're in good hands ;D |
