I was looking to buy a new snail at Petsmart. I seen their snails that were for sale in a small "Critter Keeper" with the lid on it and it was sunk to the bottom of the big tank that was holding all the live aquarium plants for sale. There were so many snails in there and with no trace of food or plants for them to eat.
I know my own 2 snails love to gobble up the spinach leaves I put in their Veggie clips for them very fast, but these snails had no little scraps of food at all.
My snails go to the surface every once in a while for a "breath" of fresh air with their siphons. But the Petsmart snails can't do that in that critter keeper if it is sitting on the bottom of that bigger tank. What will happen if they can't ever go to the surface of the water to do that?
And why do they send new snails home in a bag with only a tablespoon or two of water in it? I used to buy snails in the past that had at least 3 to 4 cups of water in it....
