The snails have recently been seen appearing at feeders en masse, with many feeders seeing 2 or more at a time. They slowly slide around the feeders, generally towards the food bowl, leaving sticky trails and often blocking cameras. | The snails have recently been seen appearing at feeders en masse, with many feeders seeing 2 or more at a time.

* [[File:The snail gang is on it again.png|thumb|200x200px|2 snails feasting on said burglary's objective (June 6, 2024 Event)]]'''June 6, 2024:''' The dark sky was the perfect camouflage. At 4:30 AM (LFT), a snail was spotted in the empty [[Mr. Cloud & Mr. Peach]] feeder thinking she was sneaky. After a long 6 minutes of crawling she raged on the leftover kibble. A companion of the snail was spotted around 4:38 AM, climbing on the feeder's walls with a burning motivation to reach the kibble. At 4:43 AM, they were successful in their burglary without being caught.
