They are surprisingly active and curious, plowing along the substrate all day and rooting through sand for leftovers.

A sand or fine gravel bottom lets them burrow and forage naturally. They are big snails with big appetites, so feed deliberately, sinking wafers, blanched zucchini or spinach, and the occasional protein-rich pellet keep them in top shape. Hungry rabbit snails may sample soft plants like java fern, a well-fed one rarely bothers anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e never dose copper-based medications in a tank with snails or other invertebrates.
