I got a land snail (white garden snail) behind my yard about a month ago, it used to poop before, I feed vegetables to it. now I feed it even more vegetables but it's not pooping does this mean it's not eating? If yes what can I do to make it eat?

Check the temp in the cage or enclosure. Ideally, the temp should range between 64 F and 84 F. Low or high temps can affect appetite and activity. Keep the substrate moist also to maintain hydration. Most greens and vegetables can be fed raw, but firmer vegetables (such as carrots or potatoes) may need to be boiled to soften them up. Provide a cuttlebone as a source of calcium. Yiu can find them in the Avian/Bird section of the local Petco.
