	Hikari Crab Cuisine - Good for Pet Snails?
Cory_Di Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 7953 Kudos: 2917 Votes: 25 Registered: 19-Dec-2002	I just posted this at Applesnail.net too, but was wondering if anyone here feeds their apple or mystery snails Hikari Crab Cuisine. It has added calcium. It seems to make sense to include it in it's diet, no? [link=http://www.hikariusa.com/crab_cuisine.htm]http://www.hikariusa.com/crab_cuisine.htm" style="COLOR: #C000C0[/link]

I suppose the Crab ones would be just fine too I also find some fish also enjoy these specialty meaty delights- Upside Down Cats in particular love the newt food. I feed the Newt and Salamander bites to my ADF's- bigger bites than frog bites, same basic ingredients, and more of a mouthful for the little hungry froggys. I think your snails would enjoy the crab cuisine. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames
