Snails generally eat plants; they also eat algae and decaying matter and form an important part of the food web. They have thousands of tiny teeth which are located on a ribbon like tongue called a radula. This works like a file and rips the food to bits. Cepaea snails usually only eat dead and decaying vegetation.
