Snails...Piglette is my HERO

[SMCNARY]

Rachelle sent me a bunch of snails!!! I'm in progress getting my USDA permit to import them but until then she hooked me up!!!! THANKS RACHELLE !!!!

My Jacksoni tore there cages down to get to them and ate them and then came right to my hand to get more!!!

 

[pigglett79]

Oh man, arent they just too stinkin cute? I love those little guys. I was so happy to hear how much your Jacksoni loved them. I wish I could have seen them in their excitement over this new and fun feeder.

 

[SMCNARY]

I can't thank you enough!!!! I had to give the baby's a try and I kept it up until every one of the 20 baby's got 1snail each. They went bonkers,anyone breeding or even keeping montaine species MUST try snails!!!

 

[SMCNARY]

BTW I will send you a variety of feeders next week!!! As you know I don't have many!!!

 

[SMCNARY]

Look how much they have eaten in just 31/2 hours

 

[pigglett79]

Yeah, they are eating machines. Its crazy. Now I like to try to find things they really like to watch how fast they eat it.

Your snails are eating lots more than mine are. I even spent $4 on a papaya and they won't eat it. They ate zucchini really well. Rachelle is such a sweetie for how she takes care of her friends.

I have juvi carpets who thought the small snails were tasty. I can't really feed mine yet as I need to start a colony. These are a great addition.

[Beautiful4Ever]

This is AWESOME! May be a stupid question, but do you give the whole snail to the guys...I mean with the shell? Must be less dense than the snails I am used to.

I feel so left out of everything. I guess I need to find a new circle...

wth.. Chameleons can eat snails? Shells and all?? I though snails and slugs were off limits because of the mucus?

Slugs are not recommended. However, snails are a great source of calcium and are eaten in the wild by chameleons. The jacksons in Hawaii are actually causing issues because they are decimating the snail population in some areas. I am hoping to get some snails of my own, but need more room first.

Wow was I wrong.. Regular garden snails are ok?? They digest the shells just fine? what makes slugs no good, but snails ok? I'm so confused lol

Yes, regular garden snails, but you need to either find snail eggs and hatch them or order snails and breed them yourself. Wild caught snails are not recommended due to parasite concerns.

As for slugs, they are also known to carry parasites, produce more slime than snails and don't have the calcium content, due to not having the shell, which is the biggest reason why you would want to feed them.
