1. What do snails eat when they live in water?

Field snails live in water and eat microorganisms in the soil, aquatic phytoplankton, young aquatic plants, moss, etc. They also like to eat artificial feed, such as fruits and vegetables, vegetable leaves, rice bran, wheat bran, soybean meal and various animal scraps.

Growth habits of river snails: River snails are gastropod molluscs that like to live in water environments with humus-rich bottom mud, such as lakes with lush aquatic plants, ponds, fields or slow-flowing ditches. They have a mixed diet and like to move and feed at night. River snails start to move and feed when the water temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius. The optimum temperature for growth is 20 to 27 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius, they will retract their bodies into their shells and stop feeding. They will gather in shaded places or hide in the soil to avoid the heat. They will die when the water temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. When the water temperature is below 8 degrees Celsius, they will hide in mud caves to hibernate. They will come out of their caves and feed again when the water temperature rises to around 15 degrees Celsius in the next spring.
