Hey Guys and Girlies! I was just wondering if anyone has tried their Snails with Grapes? Either red or white? My Mum is trying to get me to feed them to Tobias-Sluggley red grapes at the moment and I really dont want to "give it a try" as he is an only child  Also, I was also wondering if/when people give their snails a small amount of beer? Tobias is only a baby - almost the size of a 20pence piece- which isn't bad for 2 weeks growth! Should I wait until he is golf ball size before trying him with a spoon of beer? Many Thanks in advance xXx |

Some snails like grapes some don't. Remember always taste fruit that they are lovely sweet so snails will eat them more likely than that fruit. Some fruits taste horrible when isn't harvesting season and they taste better when the more available in stores.
My snails don't like to eat acid things much like grapes or blueberries. I would not give beer to snails, it's not really natural them to get any grain in wild neither. I you wanna give, give so alcohol free I can't see any point giving to animals any alcohol.

My snails have never been too interested in grapes, though they'll have a little nibble here and there. Try washing one thoroughly, cutting it in half and offering it to your snail. Maybe he'll eat it, maybe not, but it shouldn't do him any harm Also, my snails all love beer and will go straight for it if I put some in the tank I don't think it'd be a problem to give him a tiny amount, maybe a couple of drops in a milk carton lid or bottle cap? Just don't give him too much to drink... he might end up on the Jeremy Kyle Show when he's a bit older ;D |

I once gave them and they seems to get greedy from smalll amount and slept REALLY late, maybe the had hangover. Nother snails was like "Oh my gotta get some water.. Ah now better, and now to sleep" Nother one keep drinking and "Oh my better go to sleep under the moss"  |
