Do garden snails have to hibernate if they do how to i do it?
How do snails hibernate? Snails hibernate in the winter. This means they go to sleep while the weather is very cold. Snails bury themselves and close up the entrance to their shell with a door of slime. This hardens into a tough skin. This tough skin keeps predators out but a tiny hole allows air in. Some snails that live in the desert have been known to remain in their shells for two or three years.
