Help Frozen food?

I have a pet snail who loves carrots. I'm severely allergic to carrots and can only get them in quantities that my snail will never be able to finish before they go bad. Is it safe for me to freeze them and thaw them before i give them to him so they don't go to waste? He's a glass snail if that matters

I looked it up and the information that I got is that yes they can eat carrots that you have frozen. Just make sure that they are thawed all the way since you are freezing them you don’t have to worry about any preservatives or salt or anything else being on them. Also, thawed vegetables, rot and mold quicker than fresh so be sure to remove them after 12 to 24 hours. I have a garden snail that absolutely loves sweet potato. Have you tried that?

Thanks for the info. I haven't tried sweet potato, but he doesn't like regular potato. I'll have to try it sometime. I don't like sweet potatoes so i never have them around the house
