I saw some one on Facebook feeding their snails crickets and meal worms, so I gave it a go! I have only used meal worms so far, but they went down well with all! I soaked them first to make them juicy and easier to eat. I'll put up some pics later of them eating  Maybe a good protein source? Also I'd only use dead meal worms as they have pretty powerful jaws  |

Sounds like something they just might eat in the wild for protein, if there are no dead animals or dead snails available, so it makes sense to me. I don't know by other than my gut feeling though.

I'd be interested in how that one go's Cliath as that would def be more along the lines of a natural food source for them as you say dead ones of course.

Someone I know who has reptiles gives his snails the dead locusts/mealworms that he finds in his live food tubs, they seem to go down very well x

I fed them to my snails and so far they went down with mostly everyone, I am planning to try them out with the slugs later in the week  |

Haha awww, the snail is smaller than the worm. Great pic, Cliath. Do dead meal worms have a bad smell? |

I wonder if my snails would be up for this? What species are they? I think it's okay for most species |
