Snails
Why do they climb up the walls of our house? The most recent one reached the top of a bedroom window.
Are they burglars?

Re: Snails
I have a racing snail. I tried to make it faster by removing the shell, but it's made it sluggish!

Re: Snails
I had one decided to take a break half way up the window last week.

I like these sort of threads.

Re: Snails
You need to SALT them and the osmosis effect will take place.

Little bit of beer in an empty butter tub. They love it.

Re: Snails
I have a blackberry bush and the snails are in awe of one or two fallen berries.They devour them and seem to be in an hypnotic state. Almost as if they have found Acapulco Gold.

The juices ferment and create alcohol. Under our Damson tree I've seen wasps flying in circles on their backs because they couldn't take off.dermotdermot wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2024 3:24 amI have a blackberry bush and the snails are in awe of one or two fallen berries.They devour them and seem to be in an hypnotic state.

Re: Snails
Last year there was a knock on my door. I answered it to find a snail on the doorstep, so I picked it up and threw it over next doors fence.
Yesterday I heard another knock on my door - I opened it and the snail on my doorstep said “what did you do that for???”
