How often do snails need feeding ? Everyday ? Because i sometimes feed my snail every 2 or 3 days because they sleep for 1 day or 2 then at night they wake up looking aroudn for food when i was organizing to give them a big food the next day but then have to feeed them at night because there awake and hungry. x When do you feed your snails ? and how much do you give them ? Thanks.

They need feeding as often as they're hungry See that there's always food in there if they want it, and remove/replace it before it goes bad. Carrot, potato, sweet potato and similar harder veg are good for several days, so those are good choices to leave in there. Judge how much they need by how much you end up removing uneaten - if you remove a lot, then feed them a bit less next time. If every shred has gone, try putting a little more in next time. Food can last longer if it's off the substrate - an old saucer or a plastic plant-pot-drip-catcher (what are they properly called?) will do. When going away for a few days I usually put in a big chunk of potato or carrot - though the latter does try to take root....

LOL at the carrot taking root. Once a pumpkin seed that I put in the tank sprouted and started growing. I left it for the snails to investigate and nibble on if they wanted. But the light wasn't bright enough and it withered up after a few days.
