Firstly, sorry if I have put this in the wrong forum. I have some lollipop sticks that I was considering gluing together to give my two grove snails and one common snail something to enjoy. However, I would like to know what glues would be safe to use. I know that in time, the structure would be destroyed due to damp and the fact that they share their home with woodlice but I just want a way to create something fun for them that is also safe. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.  |

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Unfortunately snails like to rasp on things and so I wouldn't recommend using any type of glue inside a tank due to the risk that they could ingest it. Would recommend perhaps looking for some reptile tank decor or hides (brands like Exo Terra, Lucky Reptile, Komodo etc) for something snail-safe and long-lasting that can also be properly cleaned, or alternatively you can give them cheap/free things like plastic plant pots or empty water bottles for climbing and hiding. |

Thank you so much for your input. They do have a plant pot already. I notice that they are more for hanging from the ceiling than hiding so I wanted to add some obstacles for climbing onto and over. |

Some of the reptile brands do things like fake plants or bendy branches that snails like to climb, or you can buy pieces of driftwood from aquatic stores often that can be good (although sometimes can develop mould over time). There's ornaments for fish tanks too that are good as long as they're not too solid/heavy in case of falls. |
