How to feed a snail to grow faster

Snails can be great pets. They are especially great for school projects, and for teaching young children how to care for a living thing. Snails are also quite easy to feed.

 

1. Select a wide fruit, vegetables, seeds, and grains that are safe for snails. Land snails enjoy eating a wide variety of foods, mainly fresh produce. In a pinch, land snails also like to eat tortoise food that has been soaked in water; However, the bulk of your snail’s diet should come for fruits and veggies, as well some seeds and cooked grains.

 

2. Chop or shred produce into pieces smaller than a dime. Use a vegetable shredder or kitchen knife to chop all produce before you feed it to your snails. Snails are sensitive to chemicals and pesticides, so be sure you use organic produce, and to wash it well before feeding it to your snail.

 

3. Start by providing 0.25 cups (59 ml) of food each day. There is not a hard and fast rule about how much food a land snail should eat, and you’ll have to figure out how much food your snail needs over time.

 

4. Avoid processed foods, and foods that are hard for snails to digest. Don’t give your snail snack foods, or foods that contain sugar or salt. Snails also have trouble digesting rice, millet, pasta, crackers, and bread because they cause bloating.

5. Most definitely never feed your snail anything with salt. It is the most dangerous thing for them because it burns their body of moisture and it will die.

 

6. Fill a water dish with spring water. You do not need to provide snails with water to drink, but you do need to make sure their environment is humid enough. Place a shallow dish filled with spring water for your snail to bathe in. Replace the water every 1-2 days.

 

7. Spray your snails with spring water every 1-2 days. You can also help your snail to stay hydrated by misting them with water. Fill a spray bottle with spring or filtered water, and mist your snail and their habitat.
