SO. today olive was actually pretty active !!! he was eating moss (and a lot of it haha) and i took some really cute pics and videos of him !!!


but tHEN the lil mf tried to escape and ALMOST DID IT. if i would have turned around like a minute later he WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT. i was so worried and i hated my net lid anyways and i knew i needed to get a new one anyways, but now i was in a big rush .
so when my dad came back i told him about it and we thought about it for a bit ,, and then he agreed to take me to the store for buying a new lid !!! i was kinda scared we couldnt find one but WE DID !!! my dad drilled two (pretty big imo but theyre perfect !!!) holes for breathing ,,, and i put two heavy books so there wont be any space between the lid and enclosure ^^

im really happy now because i dont need to be scared of him getting away anymore !!! the two nights i had him i was FRIGHTENED to not watch him for the like 7 hours of sleep i had haha but now i can finally sleep normally again :D

31/01/23 yall. YALL. I GOT HIM. IM A SNAIL OWNER. IM A SNAIL OWNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HE IS THE MOST ADORABLE THING IN EXISTENSE OKAY.
it took us like 40 mins to get him :')) my mum found him on our window but he is sooo fast hshsj and then it started RAINING :')) but i really wanted to get him already so i just took an umbrella went outside and searched for him ,,, i found him but i had no idea how to pick him up without hurting him :(( so my mum agreed to just pick him up herself (LOVE U MUM) and she then gave him to me and i was SOOOO HAPPYYYYYY :DD like he was so cute and he actually felt pretty good !!! i then put him in his enclosure and he has been exploring the fucking roof ever since HSSJJS BUT IDC I REALLY LOVE HIM

im just kinda worried he will escape because i think he might be able to do that :') BUT ill try my best to not let my anxiety get to me and go to sleep without worrying about him shsjsjsj i have school tomorrow anyways and its like midnight rn and i wake up at 6:30 fuck
