I only raised them after I'd paid the kids a penny each to pick sand
buckets full of snails off the plants in the garden. I kept them in
an old fish tank. I would *not* feed them ivy. I'd pick some "wild"
nasturtium (another weed here) to feed them and I wouldn't try to keep
them longer than a week or two, feeding on nasturtiums and then
purging on lettuce and cornmeal. Eat the big ones, drown the rest.
