First off is to identify what those snails are. You could post a photo if you dont, so we can ID it better.

Usually people use pond snails, or bladder snails for feeders dwarf puffers, you should also be feeding some bloodworms, mussels, shrimp, fish, you know just quality frozen foods.
 
Be aware they can be messy eaters and if you have them in a 10 gallon when you get them they will get the tank dirty constantly.
