I know they like soft fruits like strawberries and bananas. They really like apples but the babies have trouble eating fresh ones. They also enjoy any kind of lettuce. The ones by my house eat up my ivy so you might want to try planting some of that.

Snails are awesome pets!!!

Feed them:

-Lettuce
-Cabbage
-Leafs from garden plants
-Weeds

As well as cucumber, boiled potato, carrot, oats and bran. They also need a lot of calcium, so give them small pieces of eggshells.

Aw yeah and slugs are fun too - I used to keep european black slugs and boy do they eat! In a day they could hollow out an entire cucumber. I love those things.

I fed the slugs anything organic - but they ate meat too!
