A couple more recipes for snail food

[feemia]

Thanks Luis. Sounds like a great way for everyone to use up the pulp from their jack-o-lanterns.

Yeah that is true - pulp from pumpkins would be a great additive

Nice find, very interesting

Question about baby food to put into snail jello.

Can I use either of these two jars I picked up? I was looking at the calcium content of different varieties and I found these two.

Butternut Squash (I'm pretty sure this one is okay) it has 4% calcium

Creamy wheat with peaches (its the new good morning variety from beech nut) It has 10% calcium. This is the one I am most unsure of. If I can't feed it to the snails, how about the goldfish.

I also picked up garden vegetables that has 6% but I'm sure thats okay.

Thank you for your input

Any of those will be just fine.

And lup, that link is on page one of this thread to the calcium ratios I believe.

If this was Homer Simpson he'd be saying .... "Doughnuts...."

I was not sure how thin to slice 'em...., I made it with a 4oz. Gerber: spring vegetables, blood worms and knox gelatin.
Note: if using the 4oz. baby food, don't use all the gelatin in the packet, unless you want extra strong jello.

Thanks for the recipes.
