Trixie had a nice nap, staring down at a bowlful of broccoli. #snails #snailposting #snailsofmastodon #pets #petSnails #photography #nature #animals #gastropods

Saw something unusual last night that I hope remains that way: while poor Niles was eating his supper, Chibi came over and actually bullied him away from the dish! She came up behind him and started nipping at his head and shell. He tried to back off but she continued. When he started to make his escape she pursued him, still nipping at his heel. There is a twig I’ve placed vertically at the side of the tank, and Niles had to climb up that before Chibi would leave him alone. She returned to the food dish and nibbled, then left to resume her other activities. I opened the tank to let Niles sniff my finger, to see if he wanted to have some extra space, but he eventually decided to slink off and take a nap before returning to his agenda. #snailposting #petsnails #video

Niles has been happily munching on the bark of this stick all evening now. Meanwhile his snibling (snail sibling) is enjoying a dish full of fresh green beans and mint.   #snails #petsnails #photography #Macrophotography #monochrome #snailposting

The sniblings (snail siblings) seem to be enjoying their new terrarium. #terrarium #snail #snails #snailposting #photography #Macrophotography #pets #petsnails #snailsofmastodon

Cauliflower night is a big hit. #snail #snails #petsnail #petsnails #snailsofmastodon #petsofmastodon #gastropod #snuppertime

Niles slept through the heat wave so “the little one” had a chance to grow even bigger than him. He was a little shy at first but came around once he had his fill of sprouts and did a spot of grooming. #SnailPosting #snail #snails #pets #PetSnails #SnailsOfMastodon #photo #photography

Chibi has officially gotten bigger than Niles; she was much more active during the heat wave (at least at night) and has been eating a lot of the food I leave for them. #snail #snails #pets #petSnail #petSnails #photography #photo #gastropod #SnailSunday #SnailPosting

I’ve only had these little guys a month and they’ve both grown, but Chibi has really outgrown her name lol! #SnailPosting #SnailsOfMastodon #PetSnails #PetsOfMastodon
