  1. Snails are one of my absolutely top favourite animals!!! They are so incredibly cool! Although once they ate through a box of my file papers when they reproduced and got out of their container... I will love to come back and see how things are going with your snails.

  2. Hello Year 4,

    Snails are certainly interesting gastropod* molluscs. Like all animals in our care, we need to make sure they are well cared for by having a clean environment and healthy food. I can see Moby, Lola and their two new friends are very healthy snails.

    *Gastropod - stomach foot

    I found a link to many photos of mulluscs and even have some fossil molluscs in my collection. Here's a link to the photos if you are interested...
