Got my snailies a new home to day, went into town and brought a big (and when I say big I mean big 2.5ft x 1ft x 1.5 ft) plastic box for them and their other four friends when they arrive. Gunna make it all nice and homely for them in a minute.

pretty nice place they got . whats the yellow goo in the bowl lol?
got a few questions too for snail keepers out there

1/ for some reason my gals have all started to bury under the mud. is this normal? there aint been no drop in temp or anything but i found them all today under the earth. should i be giving them enough substrate to bury themselves?

2/ how big enclosures do snails need? can they live happily in very small enclosed containers or do they need a fair bit of room?

3/ apart from lettuce,sweet potato and cucumber does anyone give there snails anything else?

4/ i seperated 2 snails from 20 and put them in a seperate container. they seem to have grown a lot bigger a lot quicker than the others even though they have had food in both tanks at all times. anyone else noticed this?

5/also can people show me pictures of there snail enclosures? seen a few different ideas and just curious.
