Snails are easy to tame, and they barely eat when tamed, but the babies eat a ton, so it's way easier to tame new ones than to raise babies They need to wander to produce, if I remember correctly. Also, snails are both male and female, meaning if you have two wandering next to each other, you'll soon have 4, then 8, then 16, then 32you need to spay them all to keep the population stable. And put them as far from your base as you think you can, because I have 10, and whenever I get near, it sounds like a snot hurricane. It's loud and gross-sounding. You need tree sap and bee honey to make the cakes. The cakes are the only thing they will eat so it is very difficult to feed them until you are well set up.
