What do snails eat?

Question

jw

Answer 1

Most land snails eat plants and other vegetation. Snails eat mostly living plants as well as decaying plants. They also chew on fruits and young succulent plant barks. Snails also eat algae. A snail has something called radula in its mouth for grinding up its food. This radula is like a rough tongue, something like a file with rows of tiny teeth, which it uses to scrape off leaves and flowers to eat. Snails can also gnaw through limestone. They eat the little bits of chalk in the rock, which they need for their shells (calcium). Many people get upset and farmers get angry when snails eat their plants and crops. Snails can cause serious damage to crops.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The land snails eat leaves and other kinds of plant parts, and the sea snail usually eats algae. The snails around my house come out after rains, and they usually chomp leaves. You can see the marks they leave on the leaves, and if you want to know if a snail has passed the area, you can check for slime.

Answer 3

Sponge Bob's snail, Gary, eats snail food from the can.

i heard that if you get your common garden snail and feed it nothing but carrots until it poos orange, that you can cook them as escargot. a friend of min saw it on Chef Gordon Ramsey's BBC show (he is the guy that does fox's Kitchen Nightmares). so, i'm guessing they eat plants :)
