The Golden Rabbit Snail is a great snail for many reasons. Also known as the elephant snails, rabbit snails are very peaceful in nature. They have a great temperament and enjoy exploring the aquarium. They are never aggressive to other inhabitants. Rabbit snails tend to be active throughout the day and night. They do not favor one time or the other to be active.

When Receiving Snails:

Place the snails in a specific corner of the tank and make a note of where you placed them
Watch the snails over a 1 week period, if they do not move remove them from the aquarium
Give the snails a smell - if they stink, they are dead
If they do not smell, add them back to the aquarium and give it another 3 days
It is super common for snails to burrow into the substrate and disappear from sight (especially Assassin Snails)
