A baby cardinal is ready to fly 10-11 days after hatching. 2-4 young are usually hatched at a time. When fully grown, their body length will reach about 21 cm.
It usually takes two to four weeks for the eggs to hatch and for the baby snails to emerge, shells and all. The shell of a baby snail, often referred to as a protoconch or âearliest shell,â is colorless and very soft. Due to the fragile state of its shell, a newly-hatched snail needs to consume a lot of calcium, which will help its shell to harden. A baby snail usually begins its calcium-rich diet by eating the shell of the egg it hatched from, a convenient source of nutrients. As the snail continues to grow, its shell grows with it. The snail produces new shell material, like the soft material of its protoconch, that expands its shell and then hardens.
