Things You'll Need
- Snail food
- Heat mat
- Pin
Instructions
Place the snail̵7;s preferred food just outside its hiding place in the aquarium. Tiger Cowrie snails are carnivorous gastropods that feed at night on soft coral, sea urchins and sponges. The species may also respond to tiny pieces of fish and mussel placed near its shell.
Hold the snail under a faucet and run warm, but not hot, water on it. The heat may induce the Tiger Cowrie to emerge out of its shell.
Put a heat mat under the tank. The constant source of warmth could draw the snail̵7;s head from the shell to feed.
Poke the snail̵7;s shell with a pin. The shock could cause it to poke its head out.
