Snail
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2021 7:57 am
Hey guys, I just got a pet snail and I have had him for about 3 days with no calcium source and I have picked him up by his shell 3 times. Please give me some tips how to care for him correctly.

I agree with CS.curlysister wrote:You got a snail without knowing how to properly care for it? This is not setting yourself up for success. When your crabs died, I recommended doing research and preparing for any new pet, prior to actually getting it. And now you are on a crab forum trying to learn how to care for your new snail. This is very disappointing.

Thankyou for helping me Hermielover121 Gary the snail is a garden snail and I did some research and I know a lot more do you have any tips?
I did and I learned hermit crabs are gross they got my room infested with food mites and when my mom found out I never heard the end of it.curlysister wrote: ↑Thu Sep 23, 2021 12:17 amYou got a snail without knowing how to properly care for it?

Crabs absolutely do not bring in food mites....they are called food mites because it is the food that brings them in.HermitCrabCHICA wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 12:17 pmI did and I learned hermit crabs are gross they got my room infested with food mites and when my mom found out I never heard the end of it.
I completely agree, my crabs are amazing, cute fun and I love them dearly. I am sure if you left food in with any animal it could bring in food mites so it’s not fair to blame it on your crabs.curlysister wrote: Crabs absolutely do not bring in food mites....they are called food mites because it is the food that brings them in.
And most (if not all) of us on this site will disagree that crabs are 'gross'. They are cute, interesting, unique, simple, fascinating....I'm sure there are other adjectives that apply too!
