Do snails really like carrots?

I think the pic below will answer that question

If you look closely...he's actually "holding" the darn thing.

Mine do that too. It's funny to watch because two of them will head for the same piece fo carrot and it's like a race. When the first one gets to it he will pick it up and hold it and the other one will crawl overtop of him. I was suprised that they would love the carrots.

Do you see the size of that thing? My Angels have realized that they cannot mess with him!

Carrot is blanched (thrown in boiling water for a few minutes).

Doesn't matter. I've had snails that are 2 inches in a diameter or more, and the fish still pick them to death. After losing 5 of them, I've given up.

Snails will eat carrots that are blanched like JC said. Small pieces. Don't just drop in a whole blanched carrot.

I just pictured a snail trying to manage a whole carrot...pretty funny.

HAHA. James did that one night while I was gone. I got home the next day and there was 2 snails on a baby carrot and a third snail trying to inch his way onto it. It was so funny to watch.
