Nice bro, i started with 200, but i just discovered that they don't eat the vegetable that i do give to them , it 's only pawpaw that they do out of the whole things that i don feed them with.

I'll like to ask, how many snails do u hav?

Presently I have 53 giant ones and about 90 smaller ones most of which hatched from my farm. I just built a bigger pen which I believe can accomodate 100 big ones, but I need the right breed to stock it.
