Hate to point the finger here, but In my experience, rabbit snails can be naughty.

I've removed 5 different kinds of plants because my rabbit snails wouldn't stop eating them. I don't have any complaints with nerites though, and no experience with mts or mystery snails.

MTS and mystery I never have had issues with. They eat decaying or dying plants but not healthy live ones. My guess is the rabbit snails as well

Are there any plants that you know of that rabbit snails don’t eat?

I kept removing the rabbits off plants and putting them on blanched kale, they would leave the Kale and head straight for the same plant. I read they will eat Java ferns, but leave everything else alone, but they eat my dwarf lily, bacopa, curly Val, bucephalandra and anacharis when then can get to one. They tasted the Anubias, but have since left it alone, and don't eat the moss. I'm scared to try anything else in there!

If you have plants you can try, just try anything, but be prepared to remove them if they like to eat them.
And just keep offering blanched veggies until you find one they love. Mine have really been into dried walnut leaves. And I've tried so many things.

Bladder snails also eat plants, they really suck.

Yep it's the rabbits.
Nerites don't eat plants much if at all.

I have like 40 rabbits and beautiful plants.
None of my plants are low. They are glued to mopani wood or other higher decor.

Babies still eat holes in their leaves but it's not bad.

I feed lots of veggies for supplent though or I'd have more damage.

I have a huge walnut tree in my yard.
I keep forgetting to collect leaves.
They'll love them.

I posted a lot already about stuff my snails like.

They love walnut leaves!! I colleted mine green, rinsed and dried, then I used an iron and dried each leaf between two sheets of paper towel. They are nice and perfectly dried.

Got my walnut leaves today. Going to dehydrate them tomorrow.
Snails and shrimp are eating some cooked ones already.
I have a huge black walnut tree that produces an insane amount of walnuts because I feed miracle grow in my yard.

Squirrels party at my house all year

Black walnut is antiparasitic not surprising it has antinacterial properties.
