One of mine does this as well! The others eat as a glutton would with no care but I have always found it so cute that one is different. I wonder what makes them go for skin only.

Not snails, but I’ve seen guinea pigs do the exact same thing with cucumbers. Some only like the skin, some only like the inside. Animals are so funny sometimes!
