End of week one. We have had a pleasant, if not slightly busy week! We are getting to know Hannah and her strange ways, and she is getting to know us. She has been keeping a diary of our progress- humans are strange!
We have found out that we think our scientific name is Achatina achatina- although we're a little unsure of what species we are!
We were unimpressed with mixed flourette salad, although we love courgette and cos lettuce from lidls. Thats our favorite! We are especially pleased with our cuttlefish bone! We are quite noisy eaters with the cuttlefish! Munch munch!
Mendel is a small little snailie- while Darwin is a big'un, and defiantly the most active- he often crawls over the rest of us!!!
We've even been for trips to the outside of our tank this week- onto a giant hand!
We're getting used to feeding time, and love to sneak out of our shells just in time for Hannah to put our new courgette into the tank!
Over and out- Slliiiiiiimmmmmmeeeeeeee

Oh Hanie - they look great! They are Achatina Fulica and are very common but I have to say that these have the prettiest shells I've seen. I also think they are from unrelated parents so they will be strong and healthy. You got them their favourite food - you are a good snaily owner:)
Also - I have got my snailies some special snail food from ebay. You just add warm water to it and they think it is great. They all sit round in a circle eating it out of a jam jar lid. Sweet!
is it special snail food?? i may invest! I like to make the snailies happy. I stood their cos lettce upright in the tank- as if it was growing, and they have all climbed up to the top of it and are eating from the top downwards- they look happy, although i can help thinking it would be easier to eat it from the bottom up!!!
Why do they eat the lettuce from the top? it would be easier to eat at the bottom...
they always eat the top first - maybe it tastes better!
they have finished the lettuce! It is alllllll gone! They have been awake all night munching on it!
