Lettuce is fine. My Apple snails love Spinach. I feed them celery and
carrot too. (I'm convinced that carrot does wonders for their shell
colour).

Interesting Rob.
Now are the carrots you use raw, blanched or comepletely cooked?


I recon chook food pellets do the job.
other than that tho I just feed vege scraps
.



I put in carrot slices, half of them raw, and the other half raw, but
that have been frozen and thawed again. The Frozen and thawed ones are
softer and easier to eat (freezing expands the water content and
ruptures the cell walls), but the raw ones become easier to eat after
being in the tank a couple of days. This provides a constant supply of
food - they eat the frozen/thawed stuff first, then the raw ones.

I've never tried cooked or blanched, but it should be fine, you might
get more break-up though.

HTH,

If ya can be bothered.
Blend up a mix of veges
then dry them into 'wafers'
store in an airtight container.
Using squash, pumkin, peas etc it's easy to dehydrate snail food
not only a convienience
helps stop water clouding.
A handful of shellgrit never goes astray
or ya can mix pure calc carbonate powder into their food.
