Snails may take up to 24 hours to come out after transportation.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Generally they can easily eat snails that are the size of the puffer's eye. Any bigger than that and they may need a little help by you partially crushing it first, at least until they get the hang of it ;)
