Cinnamon rolls are also called “snails” in my country because they look like snails’ shells! I wanted to bake something sweet for my graduation party and I tried to make two rolls look like actual snails, but they turned out kinda ugly XD

At least they were really tasty!

Today Walter’s eating a strawberry, a little bit of dill and parsley, calcium and a few peas! She chewed on the strawberry a little bit, but then moved on to sleep in her favorite corner, so she’ll probably eat the rest later this evening.

Don’t give canned peas to your snails, those are really dangerous for them! Only give them fresh peas, and it’ll be better if you squeeze out the soft part, as the pea shell is hard for snails to digest.

I wouldn’t recommend giving peas too often, as they contain things that can be bad for snails ദ്ദി´ ˘ `)

I forgot to ask his previous owner how old Walter is. I measured the shell’s length and counted the amount of swirls it has, and the results say that Walter should be around six to nine months old!

Snails love moss a lot! Moss keeps humidity really well, and it’s also a good hiding spot; sometimes snails nibble on it. If a snail falls down, moss can soften the fall!

Keepers highly recommend sphagnum moss, as it does its job very well! It’s not very expensive and you can find it in most pet and garden stores. Sphagnum moss is good for a lot of terrarium pets.

(you can read about sphagnum moss here)

I’m gonna be moving Walter to a bigger terrarium today, and there will be even more moss for her ^_^

I’m still not sure what his favorite food is, but he seems to like nectarines and carrots! I’ll give him his first ever tomato tomorrow :D
