Snails eat by rasping the feed by their radulla.The radulla are teeth -like,performing the function of teeth.Snails must be presented with finely grounded or succulent feed.
The common snail feeds are fruits and leaves.They can also thrive on agricultural waste such as blood meal.Poultry feed finely grounded can also be provided,and water must be made available.
The common feeds include;1) compounded broiler/layer/grower feed.

4)grounded maize,groundnut cake.
5) pawpaw,cocoyam,banana peels.

Water is provided in shallow dishes and must be cool and fresh.
The feed must be fresh,finely grounded and have low fibre content.The temperature in the snailery must not be high to ensure snails are comfortable and feed properly.
