Apple snails are not called apple snails because they eat apples. They are called Apple Snails because of their size. True apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata) can grow up to 5" in Dia. Nontheless Apple Snails can eat apples.

∙ 14y agoI have not heard reports of them being either poisonous or edible but knowing that most shell fish are OK to eat I would assume that the Apple Snail (Pomacea sp) is most probably edible too. (although I would never consider eating one).

∙ 14y agoYes the do like apple because i have a pet snail and he will spend hours on his little cube of apple!
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, but it has to be a pretty big shell not the little normal ones.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoJust think about it. Is it likely that apples would be a natural food for water snails? They may eat them but I would not advise it.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYep! They just about eat any fruit or vegetables, have fun playing with your little critter ;) !

Can the tank be cleaned with snail eggs in it?
For a water snail You will need to do a weekly 20% water change or your snail will die of ammonia poisoning. Occasionally (once every month or so) vacuum the bottom to clean up the waste that the snail produces. Also feed it lettuce or apples or carrots (washed well in warm water) and remove the uneaten food in 24 hours. For a land snail no you will not if you have a dirt bottom. Also feed it the same veggies and remove the uneaten food after 48 hours. Feed both types of snails cuttle bone or eggshells for calcium to develop a healthy shell. Good luck!
