This must be fascinating. I have never seen snail eggs! What an interesting experience it must be to watch them hatch. Do the eggs need special temperatures?

Apparently the eggs could take from between several days to a few weeks to hatch so guess we are on egg alert at the moment. The eggs are very small but they can be seen very clearly, they are white/yellow in colour. Exciting times!!

So snail gestation is from 3-21 days. How do they manage that. The numbers are so different. It will be fun the keep checking then, not knowing when they could hatch. Any egg check could be the lucky one that gets to see them fresh hatched or even better, actually hatching.

That is so cute. They have a dish of veggies just like the guinea pigs.
They enjoy then just as much as the piggies, they just take a little longer to eat them.
Do they have individual likes and dislikes or is it hard to tell. Their shells are a bit different looking aren't they, so you can tell them apart. It must be fun watching them eat. If you put a plate of food in, do the rush to it?
