There are several free magnifying glass apps for smartphones that work well and do double duty as a poor man's macro lens

Nice photography!

Great pics! Hope to see more!

Are you certain they are breeding and it isn't just more eggs hatching?

I feed leafy greens twice a week. I buy pre-washed organic spinach, kale or bok choi and wash it again in distilled water and freeze it for later use. In addition to the leaf litter I also occasionally place washed & boiled green leaves of the same trees as food. For commercial products I occasi...

Sad to hear about your rabbits - they are certainly fascinating to watch. What other freshwater snails did you lose? I don't feed anything that lists copper to mine.
