Dear all,
I need some advice. I have some tiny (5mm), juvenile Cocliocopa lubrica
that I collected in my back yard. I placed these snails in a small
container
with some leaf-litter and a stone, and they all are quite active. I want
to keep
them for some time, as I want to see if I can observe any shell growth.
However,
I don't know what kind of care they need; what do they eat? Do they need
water?
Should they be kept moist? Do they need to stay in the dark? I would
really appreciate
help on this subject; I haven't been able to find info on it anywhere
else.
Thanks,
James
