First Post.

We have decided to grow some snails to eat. This is a blog about our, and our snails, journey from Eggs to the Table. 

In fact, our snails actually arrived as hatchlings not eggs, they were about a week old and only a millimetre or two across, we put them in a heated propogator, the sort that are sold in garden centres for growing seedlings. That was about a month ago and in the next week or so our largest snails should be ready to move into their adult enclosure. The two largest are about the size of a marble, but a lot of the others are still much smaller only 4-5mm across.
