Are the snails suffering?
My roommate left me with 11 Giant African snails for a week and my job is to feed them lettuce every day, which I'm doing.
I'm worried for them because their glass aquarium to me seems too small (30 / 50 / 40 cm). Some of them apparently sleep on the glass walls in vertical position during the day, while others are half-buried in the 10 cm deep layer of soil. On the surface of the soil are flat, white rocks; which cover about 30% of the horizontal surface area of the aquarium. I'm assuming that those who sleep on the walls, do so because of the lack of space between all the other snails and rocks...
Any guidance would prevent me from staring at them worried for about 2 hours every day.
Best regards.
