no
A toddler should not be allowed to eat egg shells as the shells will scratch the throat.
Not on purpose, but if there is algae (food) on another snails shell, they will eat it off.
egg shells
I saw on Martha Stewart she put broken egg shells around the base of plants she wanted to protect from snails. The snails won't crawl over the broken shells.
Snails and slugs love to eat hosta. You can sprinkle snail bait to keep them away or used crushed egg shells or swimming pool sand to keep the snails away from your hosta.
You don't. Snails grow to their shells through a thin layer of skin. If you pick them from their shells you may very well kill or injure them.
Baby snails do not find empty shells, in fact, they are born with clear, soft shells. The shells harden as the snail consumes calcium and they start with the egg shell they hatched from. The shell grows with the snail and the inner circle of the shell is the shell the snail was born with.
snails have shells slugs don't it is obvious
I cant answer how any other way than with their mouths! but they do eat lettuce, apple cucumber, cabbage and other fruits and veggies. you should also feed cuttlefish $ egg shells for calcium.
Yes . . . But garden slugs are a much bigger problem. If you have an invasion of garden slugs or snails in your garden, try crumbling up egg shells and spreading them around your plants. ( The slugs have attacked my spaghetti squash this year, and I lost about half of them, before I caught onto them ! Their slimy trail was a dead give away ! ) Anyway . . . slugs and snails will NOT cross over egg shell.
Snails dont rebuild their shells. I used to think that slugs were just snails without shells, but without their shells, snails die. Their bodies are sort of connected to the shells.
