One small snail was spotted on the glass of the grassland habitat. It looks like it's the offspring of the original group of snails I added.

These snails seemed to only eat young Dutch white clover leaves and did so until the plant was wiped out.

Not known if these snails were able to reproduce in miniBIOTA. Their species has been in sharp decline

Does not seem to thrive in miniBIOTA
