HERE IS A REAL EASY RECIPE TO MAKE YOUR OWN SNAIL TREAT!

INGREDIENTS:

1 can of baby food (4-6oz)

1 tsp+ fish food (may be omitted)

Calcium/vitamin supplements (may be omitted)

1 packet (=1tablespoon) unflavored gelatin

You can select any fish food and any flavor of baby food that you like.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Open the baby food and pour into a small bowl. Heat the baby food in the microwave for 60 seconds (caution, it will be very hot)

Stir in the unflavored gelatin (add it slowly to avoid unsightly clumps of gelatin; don’t use a blender or you risk creating air bubbles that will make them float)

Add Calcium supplements and vitamins if you have/want them. Stir thoroughly.

Pour this mixture into a dish with a flat bottom (tupperware-type containers work well. Fold in your fish food if you are adding any.

Refrigerate for several hours, then return and cut into cubes.

One jar of baby food yields a good handful of snail treats. Keep them refrigerated until serving. These sink and hold up pretty well in the tank, but as with any food, large uneated portions should be removcd after the snails have finished.

You can use ice cube trays to create big treats for a tank full of snails. No slicing is needed in this case.
