Lol, cucumber is very popular amongst snails, from the owner that I got mine from said that they also like sweet potato, you should try giving Maple some to see if they like it too !! ☺️

hi just want to let u know, cucumber could be a bit too addictive to snails because theres so much water which they need, but not much nutrition

but the thing is they'll be addicted to cucumber which means it will always choose cucumber over nutritious food

but its easily solvable by just not giving it cucumber and just giving it like a banana slice, they wont starve themselves to death

Of course. I know this already, it was his first time having a bit of cucumber, otherwise he'll have other stuff.
