What to feed baby mystery snails?

Answer 1

Lettuce leaves dipped in boiling water to soften them. Or to get them to grow faster make "snail jello". You can find several recipes online or make your own custom recipe, here is one below..... 1 can of baby food (4-6 oz)

1 tsp+ fish food (may be omitted)

Calcium/vitamin supplements (I use 1tsp Jurassi-reptical powder w/out phosphorus)

1 packet (= 1 tablespoon) unflavored Gelatin Open the baby food and pour it into a small bowl. Heat the baby food in the microwave for 60 seconds (caution, it will be very hot).

Stir in the unflavored gelatin (add it slowly to avoid unsightly clumps of gelatin; don't use a blender or you risk creating air bubbles that will make it float) crushing any lumps with the back of a spoon.

Add calcium supplements and vitamins if you have/want them. Stir thoroughly.

Pour this mixture into a dish with a flat bottom (tupperware-type containers work well; if you are doubling or tripling this recipe, you might consider a pie pan).* Fold in your fish food(s) if you are adding any.

Refrigerate for several hours, then return and cut into cubes.

One jar of baby food yields a good handful of snail treats. Keep them refrigerated until serving. These sink and hold up pretty well in the tank, but as with any food, large uneaten portions should be removed after the snails have finished. These can be frozen for up to a month.

*You can use an ice cube tray to create big treats for a tank full of snails. No slicing is needed in this case.
