How to take care of baby snails?

My snails are really tiny kinds. They stay in the water though i dunno the breed. The adults are just 1 cm long. their babies just came out not long ago, and i am not sure of how to care for them. they are TINY. 1mm i suppose. the adults eat leaves and flowers. What about the babies?

if you leave them alone, you will have about 5,000 of them within 2 months.


the baby snail that was eaten, was probably dead or close to death, snails very rarely attack. they eat anything, and they are hermaphrodites, they can switch their sex, so if two are boys, one can become a girl. they breed very quickly.


i had one snail that grew to be huge, but i also would drop in a few kernals of canned corn or peas when i opened it up. they will eat fish food and algea and dead fish and plants.

Reply:Are they fresh water snails? I%26#039;m guessing you may have pond snails (round), trumpet snails, or rams horn snails. At any rate, they babies will fend for themselves and if the adults eat one or two it won%26#039;t matter too much as they pretty much multiply exponentially.


Adding some additional aquatic plants can help for hiding places for the smaller ones (and provides food). You can also put some zucchini, kale or romaine lettuce in the tank at night for some extra food.
Reply:there going to eat plant%26#039;s. i have about 100 of them, the male and female can both have baby%26#039;s yes the male, so you will have a LOT in a month or so. and a lot of fish will eat them. and the snail that%26#039;s eating them it%26#039;s getting rid of the bad ones.
Reply:Just leave them alone. They will fend for themselves.





And thats just part of nature. It happens. They are snails. They arent very smart;)
