What do you use for meat and / or protein for snails?

Like you said in the other thread,i don't like the idea of raw or even cooked meat in my tanks but I have given my snails those small dried shrimp meant for turtles.

I have given mine raw minced beef and they eat an amazing amount of it!! I put some in my helix aspersa tank the other week and they scoffed the lot.  The down side to this is that you have to clean virtually the whole tank because to put it plainly, what goes in has to erm.......come out!! and the tank definitely has a weird smell to it until you clean it. It does make you realise though just how much they relish meat in their diet.  Val |

Urghh! I may try it, but I don't fancy the germy poo. The vegetable poo doesn't bother my, but half digested raw meat around the tank isn't a pleasent thought. However I'm resigning myself to the fact that they aught to have something along those lines. As you say, it does seem necessary for them  |
