My Living World LW007 Interplay Snail World, Single, Mixed

My son spends hours looking for creepy crawlies and previously had a few jars he would use to house them and observe them. This does the job slightly better as the jars were air-tight where this has air holes, it comes with a dropper and a little booklet, but this is overpriced for what you get.

My kids had a crazy idea one day in the garden when they decided two snails were called Cucumber and Lola, they wanted to look after them and feed them, after we used a takeaway box for a few days this arrived and hotel escargot opened 🤣 we now have 6 residents that enjoy the peelings and gravity defying stunts. Kids love it, just clean them out every 6 days 😉

We love this! Great little booklet supplied with it tells you all you need to know and more. After reading the instructions and setting it up we found a couple of rather dead looking little snails (George and Georgina) in the garden (it was rather hot out there so I imagine they were just waiting for their evening rampage through the flowerbeds). As soon as we put them in their new home with a nice fresh leaf of spring greens and some moist compost they sprang to life. I never expected them to be so active so quickly - we are totally fascinated to see them moving and eating. Happy snails, happy daughter, happy me!EDIT: We've noticed that if we don't remove the lid for more than a day, George and Georgina become very lethargic and inactive. It would seem that not enough oxygen can get in through the very small holes in the lid, causing the container to gradually fill with carbon dioxide. So we now make a point of removing the lid at least twice a day and making a fanning movement across the top of the open container to "blow away" the accumulated carbon dioxide and get some fresh air in - remembering to then replace the lid! This immediately stimulates the snails to become active again.EDIT #2: So - 7 months later and George and Georgina are thriving - so much so that about a week ago I noticed a clump of about 30 little white snail eggs nestling under the soil in the corner of the container! We are thrilled! They will take a few weeks to hatch so if/when they do I'll post an update - watch this space!EDIT #3: Oh my gosh! Since my last edit (3-4 weeks ago) we have had two more batches of eggs laid, and the first batch have started to hatch. So there are now lots of incredibly cute, pearly white mini-Georges and mini-Georginas finding their way around their new home, tucking in to lettuce leaves and chunks of cucumber and occasionally escaping through the larger hole at the top, which until now we've left open to encourage air circulation in the tank. They are so sweet, but with so many others due to hatch in the coming weeks we'll have to get another bigger container to properly house them all. If all these babies can be produced by just 2 snails in such a short time, I'm beginning to understand how the species is so successful in overrunning gardens and wiping out vegetable patches up and down the country. You've gotta love nature! I've added a pic of Georgina carrying 2 of her many, many children - sooo cute!

My pet snails Adolf and Margret love their new home

Nice present for my son and he’s been very happy with it. Quite small but nice quality

I've got 3 snails living in here. Perfect size.

Brought for my gransons 5th birthday. He absolutely loves it. Great value for money.

The box was much smaller than I expected but still a decent size for no more than 2 snails and it is a rather cute home for them. I have a standard size and smaller sized snail living together in here and have been very active eating cucumber and tomatos and leaves. I used everything from my garden to make their home. My 4 year old son loves them and we enjoy looking at them with the magnifying glass which is provided. We also added a small worm to the soil which I've read helps to keep the soil much cleaner 🐌🐛
