No idea about the snails. Have you considered using silkworms and letting them mature into moths. I don't think these can fly anymore (cultivated for many centuries), but they do move about. There are a few places that offer these as eggs or already hatched caterpillars. If you have a mulberry tree nearby, your silkworm feeding problems are solved. Otherwise there are prepared diets available for them.
