King oyster mushroom and cherry tomato (memil's favorites)

New enclosure is about the same height (maybe even a bit lower) but measures almost three times wider, with its narrower side matching the wider side of old enclosure.

Just in case anyone is wondering, the timelapse video is one frame taken per 20 seconds and there are 30 frames played per second, so it is about 600x the actual speed.

My snel didn't seem like he was moving a lot so I set up a snail surveillance camera and this is how it turned out! This is actually the first time I've ever seen him grooming himself. Time-lapse is from around 3pm to around 7pm, starts with my partner putting him back in his home with new food before going out.

We should probably give him a bigger home

Since last post (https://www.reddit.com/r/snails/s/f9xmZo6e8k) we just decided to put the chalk away for a day or two and our little Memil-tteok had a hearty meal today. Insisted on eating with that awkward posture while balancing their stick of pellet vertically, but I guess snails are just meant to be weird creatures.

Next up: How do I get rid of that white chalk-poop-residue on their shell without getting them angry?!

Say hi to Memil-tteok(Korean for 'buckwheat cake')!

Their last meal was a chunk of oyster mushroom two days ago, and then we gave them a pure calcium carbonate chalk and a bunch of snail cookies (commercial preparation for snails). They grazed a chunk out of the chalk but didn't touch cookies at all. Also when I give them powdered calcium carbonate with other veggies, they will eat all of calcium powder and only take some smol bites out of veggies. I'm worried that they might be eating too much calcium, and that it might be causing them to eat less food. Or maybe they just hate the cookie.

They are *Nesiohelix samarangae*, a species endemic to Korea, so I can't find much info about the species online. One thing Korean communities seem to agree on is that they are really picky about what they like to eat.
