Most land snails eat green leaves. Snails also eat algae and decaying matter and are an important part of the food web. A garden snail has thousands of tiny teeth.These thousands of tiny teeth are located on a ribbon like tongue and work like a file and rip the food to bits. Snails can gnaw through limestone.They eat the little bits of chalk in the rock which they need for their shells. Some varieties of snails can destroy whole orchards and gardens when there are large groups of them.

no they do not

Snails1000 edit:

they do eat egg shells, matter of fact. When they first hatch, they eat their own egg shell. They eat egg shells for calcium. It a snail lacks calcium, it may even eat it`s own shell(the one on it`s back). But no, they do not eat eggs with babies inside. Just the shell.

There are two very basic kinds of snails. Some snails live on land and the second basic category of snail lives in water. Land

Snails like damp spots, especially in the garden. These snails eat decaying vegetation, fungi, lichen, plant leaves, damp paper and cardboard. Becuase these snails live in the garden and feed on garden plants, people often consider them a pest.

Snails also live in a water. People can use them in an aquarium and they live in the wild. These snails eat algea. In addition, they eat aquatic plants. In an aquarium, snails eat excess fish food also. There are also many different kinds of predatory snails that live in the ocean. These snails hunt and eat fish and various types fish and invertibrates.

Worms have tiny mouths and will take extremely small bits out of things like bacteria, fungi and protozoa. The love organic matter such as plants, fruit, compost heaps of cut grass, potato peelings and decaying animals. When the food is too large for their mouths they moisten it to make it soft and suck it in. Worms of course have no teeth and the "gizzard" does all the work. The grains of sand or soil will be ingested in with the food along with moisture (must like birds and chickens) and a grinding process occurs. When the food leaves the worm's gizzard is goes into the intestine and is dissolved and absorbed into the worm's blood which also keeps the worms moist and strong.
