you want calcium without vit. a if possible, you can usually find it in the drug store. I can send you a baggy of calcium powder first class if you like
Haha! Sending a bag of white powder through the mail sounds like all sorts of fun. It'd be even better if you could send it outside the country so it has to clear customs as well.
milk is fortified with a lot of vitamin D, I wouldn't recommend it. You can try mixing in some crushed eggshell with plaster of paris pucks or jello, or a cuttle bone (in the bird supply section at pet shops)
Cuttlefish bones rot though, that's the downside. I prefer the plaster of Paris pucks. My snails eat them nonstop and plaster of Paris does clarify the water.
I mad snail jello yesterday with every fish food I have on hand. man that was a loaded piece I dropped into the tank this morning! man oh man every fish was fighting each other to get to it, and what was hilarious, the snails piled high on it and blocked the fish, and the fish were trying to knock the snails off to get it. must have been one tasty treat! those platy are feisty, and so are the mollies, they were knocking snails down right and left, but them snails got right back on. Good for them, the molly and platy eat everything before anyone else can get a meal. I should have taken pics, it was a riot. oh and afterwards the snails closed up and took naps, really there tummys were full and the all went to sleep :lol:
yes I agree this subject should be a sticky I have not done any of these recipes yet but totally plan too, thanks so much!
