Default mexican turbo snails

I got a couple mexican turbo snails a few days ago and the ate like crazy, but then stopped. now they just sit there, not eating stuck to the glass/rocks. there not dead, im wondering if there full? could this be the cause of there sudden lazzyness?

Mine seem to go in phases - active and munching and then lethargic. Mine seem to be more active at night...
