Hello all!
I’m new here. I was researching online and couldn’t find an answer. So, I decided to sign up for this forum to ask. Anyway, I’m in the process of getting 2-3 garden snails. I pretty much already have all the supplies needed. One thing that I wanted to get is the Niteangel flower path - b. If you don’t know, this product is mainly used for hamsters and other small animals. It’s natural and can be edible. The reason I wanted to get it was simply just to add enrichment and also to try to make the enclosure more aesthetically pleasing. I do know that snails can often eat different flowers. However, I wasn’t sure if some are toxic to garden snails. Obviously, I wouldn’t want to harm them. So, I’d just like to know if these flowers are safe for garden snails: strawflower, gomphrena glombosa, rose corolla, rose pedals, marigold, mypsotis sylvatica, jasmine, lavender, and calendula. If you are wondering, I did try researching each flower individually on if it’s safe for garden snails. I did get some answers, but with some of them, I didn’t really find an answer. So, I thought I’d ask here. I hope that someone can please give me the correct information in order to help me keep my snails safe! I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Alisha

Hi! this is not a very good answer and i'll be back with a more researched one, but one thing you can do is check the uh, sap? of the plant you wanna introduce, and if it's clear it's *usually* (emphasis in usually) safe to eat. If it's milky, don't put it in there, since it's usually not safe

Thanks for your reply! Honestly, I’m thinking this product is likely safe. I did find a couple sources with safe and non-safe flowers and food. The only one I really questioned was the gomphrena glombosa. It says it’s called “globe amaranth,” and I’m pretty sure a source said amaranth isn’t really good for them. However, maybe that’s a different type. I don’t know. Can you please help me find out? I can’t seem to find a definitive answer. I’d really appreciate it!
