Toad, I must send my daughters to your daughter for de-sensitivity training! I've always worried that my older one hated and might hurt my (oh, I mean my son's :wink: ) bluey for eating the "cute little snails."
Leigh, please do explain how raising terrestrial snails is "easy." I had them in a plastic tub that they slimed and I had to clean daily. When they had eggs, they never hatched. I would like to set something up outside. So, details please! :noknow:


I find a plant that has good snail coverage, they eat my passion flower the most, grow it in a good sized pot with a large saucer under it, keep the saucer full of water so as to act as a moat{like around a castle} the little bar stewards can gorge themselves without escaping and damaging the rest of the garden,also pesticide free. Actually I dont have to pen mine in as they live on the trellise that the flower grows on, its 6ft x12ft basically 2 fence panels long, they eat the back out of it at night and just stick to the underside of the leaf they were eating during the day.
MMMmmmmm... Something???????

I have a snail question, when you feed them, do you feed them in some water or just leave it in their normal food dish?

Never mind, LittleFoot answered the question for me. :lol: :lol:

He ate the sanil about a minute after I put it in her food dish, she is having a ball with it. It amazed me that she could break the shell so easily.

great idea

I love your idea Leigh! I found a plant (not sure re: whether or not toxic) that the snails love. Putting the plant in a pot with a moat is genius! I will definitely give it a try! :ohyes:
