Makes sense because snails eat cake in the wild😐👍

If you are playing Official PvE, you can grapple them with a grappling hook and then fly or walk them back somewhere safer for them to be knocked out, such as your base for example.

Tame a low level one. No difference in drops from a lvl 15 one and a lvl 300 one. Just be careful that you don't accidentally kill them while trying to knock them out

Starve taming doesn't work too well for 2 reasons
1. It's food bar may be small, so it may start losing health before it even gets close to tame time.
2. The cool down gap for eating cake, means that you need to factor in the eating time.
Hope this helps

How does slime get bola-d? I need to know
