To feed your snails powdered food, you should follow these steps:
✔️ Prepare the Food: Mix the powdered food with water to create a moist, paste-like consistency. The water-to-powder ratio depends on the brand or type of food, but generally, aim for a thick paste that’s easy for the snails to consume.
✔️ Serve in Shallow Dishes: Place the paste in a shallow dish, such as a small plate or lid. This helps prevent the food from spilling into the substrate and making the environment too wet or moldy.
✔️ Offer Freshly Prepared Food: Snails are more likely to eat the food when it’s freshly mixed and moist. Make sure to offer the paste once it’s prepared, and remove any leftover food after 3-5 hours to prevent spoilage.
✔️ Supplement with Fresh Foods: While powdered food is excellent as a supplement, make sure to also provide fresh vegetables, fruits, and calcium-rich foods like organic calcium powder or calcium sticks (you can buy our calcium sticks), cuttlefish bone or crushed eggshells. This helps balance their diet.
✔️ Monitor Their Eating Habits: Pay attention to how much they eat. Snails can sometimes be picky, so adjusting the consistency of the food or offering different types of food can encourage better eating.
Always ensure the food is kept fresh, and avoid leaving powdered food in the enclosure for too long, as it may attract pests or mold.
