Thank you I have never seen apples have better shells even if i do say myself. They do get a huge diet and i even bake snail cookies in the oven for them, hence their great shells even at a ph of 6.5 :good:

I love your snail tank.

be ready for some snails to hibernate. They may look dead but they are just sleeping and wake up a month later.

Ok m8 what are "snail cookies"?, I shipped about 30 baby snails to the lfs but have astill got a good few left and would really like them to do well, so if I can help them in anyway I will.

Lots of way to make snail cookies and some people cant be asked but you get great looking apples if you spend the time.

Snail cookie: Crushed up cat food, some honey, crushed up tums, any of the below:

Dill Weed
Turnip Greens
Parsley
Spinach

All mixed and baked left to dry out then feeding frenzy they luv their snax :good:

I aslo feed cucumber, alage wafers, bloodworm and fish flakes :drool:
