How often do you clean your snails out, do you spot clean daily and do a thorough clean out weekly or monthly?
Do you feed fresh food daily or every other day?
I was talking to someone who says they only feed 4 times a week because their snails like old fruit and veg. They clean out thoroughly every 6-8 weeks.
I spot clean daily, feed fresh daily and thoroughly clean every 4 weeks. I must be doing something right as I keep finding eggs!

I spot clean everyday. Feed fresh every other day and a good clean every 4-6weeks. All my Snails are happy & growing & laying eggs

Thankyou, I was thinking that perhaps I am being too clean and perhaps they would like their food a bit older.

I spot clean daily, I do a more thorough cleaning every couple of weeks, and I do a full clean-out as needed (not on a schedule). I will leave food in the tank for a few days, but I make sure I offer something fresh at least every other day. Food accumulates that way, with a mixture of new food and food a couple of days old. The snails have a choice, and they often go for the older food over the fresher (although fresh sweet potato always gets eaten immediately).
