00:00Can the shell of a snail grow back after it has been torn off?

00:03Bad news, if the shell of a snail is torn off or completely destroyed,

00:08it's over for it, because this shell is not only for you.

00:11It also shelters the vital organs of the small gastropod,

00:14such as its heart and lungs.

00:16However, if the shell is only partially touched

00:19and the snail's organs are intact,

00:21the animal can repair the latter,

00:23a bit like a bone that welds back.

00:25With time, calcium and sometimes a little human help,

00:28it can recover.

00:30So how can you help a snail whose shell is broken?

00:32First, put it in a box in a calm place.

00:35If possible, glue the broken pieces together with strips of pharmacy

00:38and give it adapted food rich in calcium,

00:41salads, boiled eggshells and wheat flour.

00:44Finally, make sure the place stays moist

00:47by regularly sprinkling it with a little drop of water.
