A quiet pet - snail Achatina

A few years ago, daughter му brother, asked me to get her a pet. Parents were against the cats and the puppy did not want a rodent or parrot - the noise, the garbage, the smell. So they described each of the possible Pets. After some thought I bought her a pair of snails Achatina, quiet and odorless, which is not exactly messed up the repair or something with personal belongings. The snail was then not yet in Vogue, got it for free from a friend. I gave the aquarium, which poured coconut chips, put a saucer with food, water in a specially bought Cup, made sanctification and found the lid which could close the new house of snails.

To close they need to not run away and hurt yourself. Falling they can easily break the shell, it is always worth remembering. You can not let them crawl around the house unattended, if you let them crawl, for example, on the table, make sure that it was not crumbs and other debris that will harm the delicate snail. In food, they are unpretentious, though there are their prohibitions.

They should not be given sweet and sour food, spicy, salty. Gladly ate have nieces fresh cucumbers, greens, apples. It is necessary to bathe their Pets under lukewarm water and having put on the hand. Need slediti humidity, a few times a year to change the chips, be sure to give egg shells and cottage cheese "shell". Of course, the snail pet lover, I probably wouldn't have to get such animals. It is interesting to watch them, to take on hands, I was surprised when the snail began to discern and distinguish the hostess, but I would prefer some more interesting animal with a high level of intelligence.
