A few weeks ago we had a pet snail ahatin. This is a very interesting animal. Most of all, I was interested in the fact that it can not be fed for several days, it just goes into hibernation. It is enough to sprinkle water on it and it will wake up. But story is not about that.
The snail lives in a small glass container. A couple of days ago I fed the snail, as always with lettuce and oatmeal, the snails like it. I should feed it at night, snail is nocturnal animals. But ... I forgot to cover it with a lid. And it escaped from its house, a glass container. In the morning I discovered the loss.
I was afraid to just step on it and crush it, but I found the snail nearby on the edge of the table. Everything ended well. Have a nice day!)
Nice! I have a "pet toad" out in the garden which often hops away from me while I'm watering. I make an effort to not step on him, and talk to him -- I tell him how much I appreciate his assistance.
Today I saw a neat-looking bug (didn't get a picture), and decided not to harm it either. Was pulling weeds out there, and almost covered it as I threw one. Pretty sure it got away safe as well. :)
