Thats it.................................... More care tips for a snail: What do you feed a snail? Snails eat fruit and veggies (avoid citrus foods) but these foods soil quickly. I’d suggest adding a food bowl. It makes the cleanup and addition of fresh food much easier than if you added it straight to the bottom of the tank. Remember to wash the food before you give it to them. Many fruits and veggies come home with pesticides on their skins and if you feed it to them, it will kill your snails. Also, snails need calcium to keep their shells healthy, so adding a bit of cuttlefish or dried crushed eggshells to the side of the dish is important too. Maintenance and snail care There are plenty of positives for keeping snails but I love that they don’t take a lot of work. The side of the snail enclosure should be wiped down once a week and the substrate changed once a month. Also, ensure you take out any rotten food and replace it with fresh food every couple of days. Easy! I find watching snails quite relaxing. They just slither around at their own pace and enjoy their surroundings. I hope you enjoy! If your snail(s) seem to be restless, let them out of their bucket and place them on the grass to explore. Keep an eye on them! Cocoa nearly went into the bushes! Let them graze for at least 5 minutes and them gently get a leaf and put your snails on the leaf. Carefully carry them to your bucket. Repeat every 30 minutes or so.
