So I had some leftovers last night, and decided to make some snailmix with it, the Fulis and Retics loved it! I made a bit too much but they ate most of it. Here's the recipe: 15% Banana (was rotting a bit) 15% Baby Food (autumns veg stage 1) 60% Sunflower Seeds 5% Fish Flakes 5% Oyster Shell Grit I then put it all together in a pestle & mortar, mashed it all up and served. Beware, it stunk But they enjoyed it, so I'd reccomend trying it XD

I put some of theverminators vacation food in last night and even the brixton margies came out for it and they normally sleep all day and night, I put some in most tanks and there wasn't many with any left this morning.

Hmmh.. Maybe I give it a try with little changes. My snails don't eat banana unless it's mashed with something else and mixed well.

Well, when I took it out last night it didn't smell at all. The retics especially seemed to love it.
Have any of you tried the Verminators snail crumbs? I have no idea what's in it, but it looks pretty cool, and I was wondering if the snails liked it?

Mine like snail crumb. If it's the same as I have you add water to it and let is soak till it looks a bit like porridge. I put all sorts of ground seeds in and they love it.
