Snail Jello too... Jello?

[Temptress]

I made this snail jello last night.. everyone has been loving it.. they were on it almost immediately when I put it in there last night.. however.. i wake up this morning to find the pieces even MORE covered in snails but nothing has changed about the pieces.. lol is it too hard? I mean the pieces aren't hard.. but can't they get it apart?? Any suggestions for a new batch? Less gelatin?

I would give them smaller pieces They don't eat that much.

Ok! Thanks =) the pieces are only half the size of postage stamps and thin.. I spread it out on a paper plate and I put one in each tank.. just throwing that out there.

I would say make em fat but give in small amounts. When I first made snail jello It was really thin about 1 cm my guess and in about the 3rd day it was hard like a rock. Dunno if it was still safe to feed so I threw it away.

I throw my extra pieces in the freezer until I need them and only thaw just before feeding. I think that keeps it fresher for longer. But, then I also made a double batch so that I would use up the 2 jars of baby food I had laying around.

to prevent it from turning to rock I cover my jello. This comes from many years and experience with people jello turning hard after just putting it in the fridge

LOL...I use plaster of Paris pucks and they keep nibbling it until it is gone in two weeks.

I may try these next.. but one thing at a time! lol

They're actually more conservative. Leave one block there and they'll keep nibbling those for days. Just keep the other blocks away in a cool place and avoid humidity which causes the pucks to grow mildew on them.
