hello! i’ve had my lissachatina reticulata for exactly a month now and he usually eats the snail mix i give him (i know snails are hermaphrodites i just use he/him pronouns lol) however since last week, he’s stopped eating it? he only seems to want lettuce (i think it’s his favourite). usually when i give it to him he eats all/ most of it. could it be because he’s bored of it or fussy or is it something else?

Snails should have a varied diet based mostly on leaves, veg and fruits and shouldn't be eating only snail mix. He is probably eating the lettuce because he's needing some fresh nutrition. |

Maybe try a different source of protein for a while and feed him a variety of vegetables (lettuce is low in nutrients). |
