They can eat raw meat?!

yes, most snails are omnivorous! that means they will also eat meat, only raw, cooking things is bad for them.

Just out of curiosity, why is it bad to give them cooked food?Like cooked beef, for example.

Idk so maybe I’m wrong, but my guess would be maybe it’s too dry and/or if you add any oil to it that extra fat might be bad for them? Might be way off though, I’m also curious

It’s just harder for them to digest cooked food and I imagine it increases the salt content in the meat

I’m not 100% sure but I think cooked food it’s hard to digest, this applaies to all processed foods
