I suppose I failed to mention that I set up a terrarium.
I was inspired by the book "Sound of a Wild Snail Eating" lent to me by a friend.
Here is the set up with the Allogona townsendiana , Oregon Landsnail. These are common on the grounds where I work. You also see them frequently in our native woods.
A week ago I first spotted little snail-ettes, about 25 when I last counted.
Today one posed for pictures while eating on a snap pea. This one has a little shell damage so I will have to keep an eye on it.
All will return to the wild when they are bigger.
Congratulations, Grandma! Your grandchildren are very cute.
