they prefer leafy vegetables, but carrots or apples will do. It depends on the snail if they will accept carrots or apples. IF you find a food that works, stick with it, you may want a variety in diet, but that will stress the little guy out.

Land snails love to eat just about anything you would put in a garden salad and are mainly herbivorous. Water snails will eat algae and most plant life that thrive underwater.
