You will not need to feed them snails but they'll eat them(especially the really small ones).

To breed snails it depends on the snail, some are male and female and some have both sex organs. The easiest way to put it is put multiple snails together of the same species and let nature take its course.

DPs will puff up, but you need to REALLY threaten them. For example, physically grab them or try to eat them. DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS HABIT, IT WILL BE BAD FOR YOUR PUFFERS' HEALTH

btw, I'm a DP encyclopedia. I used to keep DPs and I researched them extensively and gained hands on knowledge with keeping them

if your looking at feeding them snails, get a small goldfish bowl and buy about 8 snails such as red ramshorns. then put them in. put a decoration in it for them to lay the eggs on and your done. i do this and get many hundreds of snails.

i take my plant trimmings and ties them onto a weight and put them in to eat.
