Heres a good recipe
Snail Jello
1 jar baby food (green beans is a favorite and has lots of calcium)
1 packet Knox unflavored gelatin
1 tsp crushed fish flakes/pellets
1 tsp calcium powder (such as Jurassi-Cal Reptile Powder from Petsmart- it has calcium only no phosphorus)
Microwave the baby food until really hot. Stir in the gelatin until smooth ( I use a fork to mash it and get the lumps out), then add the fish food and calcium. Pour into a wide shallow dish or medium sized plate and chill until very firm. Cut into pieces for feeding. This freezes nicely for at least a month. If you choose not to use the calcium powder, make sure the baby food has at least 4% calcium. The recipe doubles well and snails enjoy fruity flavors as well as veggies.
And stuff like turnip leaves,Romain lettuce,blanched zuccini slices,cucumber slices,
