All is fine a few days on. Just wanted to thank Zorst for the wonderfully coloured poop I'm seeing around the tank.  |

Haha, I see some bright orange ones sometimes which are quite pretty. The rest are pretty normal.

The Hypoaspis finally arrived today. I ordered from Agralan.co.uk. They came in a cardboard tube with a very fine, material (almost sand like - but dirt). I've just dumped this in the terrarium. I trust nothing harmful is contained in the material?

Update. The the material hasn't bothered the snails and they are treating it like normal. Hypoaspis are EVERYWHERE, including outside the tank... but that doesn't bother me. My girlfriend, on the other hand...!
Snail activity is pretty much the same, perhaps even increased. They aren't bothered by the mite.

10 days on, everything seems fine. The snails, particularly the retracted/agitated degneri, are much improved. They're quite a slow growing snail, but I've never seen them eat so much.
There are still small, white mites on the outer rim of the tank (not in the habitat), I suspect these were feeder mites included with the predatory ones. Their numbers are decreasing, and I've noticed none on the snails or within the habitat.
Fingers crossed!
