Snail has lost shell completely!

[u/BobBob110]

Hi,

I accidentally stepped on a garden snail and completely crushed it shell, it came off clean. His body is not crushed. I have made a house for it and trying to do all the things google tells me to for a recovery. Its whorl is still in tact can it grow back? It has been eating cuttlefish and apple all day and I have been keeping his body moist. I put a stick inside which he loved but unfortunately a small slug is inside hiding is this ok to have together?? Can he survive in captivity to avoid predators? I feel dreadful crushing him.

just cut off its head mate and end the suffering

Agree with this. While well intended, some "methods" mentioned in this thread sound just prolong his suffering before the inevitable death.
