One of my Fulica(Quincy Jones) seems to be desperately trying to seal himself in his shell, I'm not sure why as the conditions in the tank seem fine and have not changed. there's no sign of any disease, bacteria or insect problem, and every other snail in the tank seems perfectly happy, I've got no idea what's wrong with him, and I don't know what I should do.

Sometimes they do so without any known cause, and it doesn't always mean that they are unwell.
You could always try giving him a warm bath.
If he starts losing weight though then perhaps there may be something wrong. Occasionally snails go down-hill for no apparent reason. One theory is bad genetics in some individual snails.
The chances are though, that he will be fine after a bath and some food.
Good luck, please keep us updated xx

I wonder if that's what my albino is doing, it looks like he's trying to seal himself off.
I have bathed him though but he wont come out, i've kept him nice and toasty for a few hours and showered him in mist. he wont eat either = [
I'm sure he will be fine though, I have hope for him.

He's settled in now. Stacie <3 |
