We are pet sitting my nephew's African Land Snail while my sister and family are on holiday. My BIL cleaned out the tank before they went and they are away for a week. We are spraying the inside of the tank twice a day and giving him (her? it?) fresh veggies every day and clearing out old food. He has been quite active but today I noticed he had spent most of the day in his little 'house' (a wooden arch) but didn't think much of it. This evening my husband sprayed him as usual and noticed little wriggling things in a small pile of poo.
Now I am worried he's ill and we'll have a dead snail by next week. We haven't been given instructions for clearing him out and we don't have the special clean soil I know they use to change his soil. Otherwise that would be the first thing I'd do.
Any advice? I have tried googling but haven't been able to find any information on anything like this.
Thank you.
