    Re: de-shelling snails?

    I was trying to look out for that and I picked the brand with a much lower sodium content. It had 150mg of sodium per 60g portion so I didn't think it would be much of an issue. I also soaked the piece in water before feeding as a 'just in case'.

    I don't think I will be feeding these often anyways - I just wanted to give them a shot. I will be keeping an eye out for fresh/frozen ones though.

    I didn't know they had them specially made for reptiles! I got mine from the grocery store! Would those be okay to feed more regularly? Like once-a-weekish?

    I would be afraid the ones for people have preservatives in them.

    I tried them with my radixes once.
    9 out of 10 discriminating radixes did not prefer them.

    Hehe, now all I can picture is everybody in the group turning their noses up while the one little fatty does the radix equivalant to a shrug and goes "I'll eat it."Nevertheless, I shall give them a shot. I hope I get better results since I seem to be sending more on foods that dont work lately.

    I think Petco and Petsmart carry them, you can order them online too I believe. The "Can-o" has several different kinds of food options.
