The Snail Thread !

It's best not to inbreed white jades but they are all inbred.

They are mainly bred for food in China so mass reproduction led to mass inbreeding. Thats why white jades don't grow as big as normal fulica's


i never thougth about selling the eggs as feeder.

Yeah, baby snails help their siblings hatch and they eat the infertile eggs. Some snails dont survive and die and the snails eat them >.<

[royal_girly]

yeah, i have thought of that too, and there's no guarantee that even the others from different sellers are not from relatives we've already got, given their breeding in China they'll all be related anyway, i'm going to buy my other pair i think and just see how it goes.. i'm not in any rush to produce anything, just enjoying the lil things.

[GlitterBug]

Lawl, yes, enjoy while they are young.

All they seem to do when they are adults is mate and get their bits out over silly things xD

I'm enjoying my little hatchling's they are growing really fast and should think at the end of march I can finally get shot of some xD they poop for england

My Albino Fulis laid eggs yesterday, woohoooooooooo hopefully they will hatch

[GlitterBug]

why is our thread on page 2?????

i'm not really bothered if my albinos breed or not i just figured they probably will do & if/when they do, i'd want healthy babies. i have no idea how many breeding pairs malky moss has & even if he has more than one, there's prolly no way to knowing if my pair & your future pair came from different parents.

my 2 babies have settled in really well, i was a bit worried how they'd cope in the big tank with my 11 month old trio but the tank's big enough for them to have theor own space and so far, all is well.

Malkymoss (karen) I think she has a few different pair's
It's best to ask her.

I got these two suturalis from jo, and a baby tiger as a Bday pressie = 3

My baby ham's are growing fast and i have had to rehome them in a larger tub...again xD this one should be ok for the next two weeks.

i still fancy a couple of tiger snails. but it';l have to wait a bit i think.

i've bought some nice fake plants for their tank but they arrived when i was out. will be picking them up tomorrow & decorating the tank.

Hello all! I just read on a page about lissachatina fulic, adn it said babies that once they hatch eat their own shell! This must be rubbish! has anyone else heard this?

[GlitterBug]

Nope it's true, All snail species eat there own shell once they hatch so they can grow......
They even eat the infertile eggs and help the fertile ones hatch.
