Albino help

[stacey]

hello. i have 2 albino jades and am wondering if there is something im doing wrong or something different you have to do with them iygwim lol

i have them in exactly the same setup as my fulicas and as theyre babies atm they have a baby fulica in with them who is doing fine but the albinos keep retracting into their shells. what am i doing wrong? i coax them out and they seem fine for about a day then they do it again. should i keep coaxing them out orrr should i leave them

Well, albinos are identical in needs to normals, so it's the snail, not something your doing if the normal is doing fine. From what you've said all I would suggest is to keep an eye on them and to make sure they are "Up" for food. If they stop eatting then you've a problem.

Try raising the temp slightly that might help, My iredaleis stayed retracted I now have their tank in my snake racking and they are doing really well.

I've noticed mine are the same, they also like to bury but it seems the bigger the get the braver they get, maybe it's just natural instinct to hide?

It is - if your small your likely to end up as a snack. So they stay hidden as much as possible. When their bigger their less likely to be chewed on (though obviously it's still possible) so they can be more adventurous. Same can be said for any animal really.
