A hundred years ago, it was thought to be good if you had an aquarium, to have some snails as they liked eating the slime off of everything and kept the tank cleaner.
I don't know if snails have evolved from that though. I haven't kept up with.... snail things.
How dare you not keep up to date with the very latest in Snail things. What am I supposed to do now? Ask the local shopkeeper?! :OD
I think I might try and convince her that hamsters are the way forward!
I know ! I had the audacity to comment even though I had no idea what I was talking about. Some people !
I think you might want to go back to fish and snails after you clean the hamster cage a time or two. I don't know though, at least you could claim a hamster ran away after a little bit. You can't use that one with fish.
I thought you sounded like a professional in the area. I am like, dang, she knows her shelled creatures!
I used to have pet rats. I don't remember too many issues with cleaning other than weekly skoof out the rubbish and fresh shavings in! Much better than slimy nonsense!
