BAT Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Nerms i have been collecting snails for my LFS staffer to feed to his puffer. I have been collecting them in this plastic container (holes in lid for air) and putting plants in there that I trimmed. it smells putrid and I can’t see any snails on side of wall. Do you think they have died? I don’t want to bring him a mass of dead snails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Rut ro. Try maybe doing a water change and see if you can find any evidence of life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 With bladders or similar it's usually pretty apparent right away who is alive and who isn't- they start moving when the water is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAT Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Yeh the fact that I have not seen them on the side of the container was a red flag for me. That was different. I was thinking of adding to my compost. I doubt any life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I recently had to clear out a QT that got "infested" with bladders. I found quite a few former snails but a decent sum of some still alive. I had a sponge filter running and would plop food in there once in a while but I didn't change water for months. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAT Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Ok. I will try a water change and see what I get. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunninose83 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I even find some alive in my canister filter. For sure stir to see before dumping. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
