Here is a quick recipe for my snails. Yes they get plenty of algae, do a good job cleaning the glass, and most will absorb the calcium they will need, but I wanted to provide more, just to make sure they got everything they needed.
6 packs of unflavored gelatin, placed in a dish, add two tablespoons of Calcium Carbonate, one tablespoon of Spirulina, one table spoon of Repashy Soilent Green. Mix together until throughly combined. Add the combined powders to one cup of RODI water at room temperature, and stir in thoroughly, and quickly. Wait five minutes, which will make almost a gel. Add one cup of boiling water to this Gel like mixture and thoroughly whisk for two minutes, make sure everything has dissolved. Pour into a suitable container, such as an ice cube tray, or flat dish so it can be cut up and stored.
This can be frozen for up to six months, or stored in a fridge for two weeks. The recipe can be changed by omitting the Spirulina, as this is already in the Repashy, also high calcium, high protein baby food can be added, blanched vegetables, blood worms if feeding crabs.
The big nutrient is Calcium, and I will say my Turbo snails sit on the cubes and gorge, hermits come running when this hits the floor.
If anyone has any suggestions, ideas, experiances, please let me know.

ther ingredients? What about using agar agar instead of gelatin? Are there noticeable differences between when using gelatin + repashy, and pure repashy + other ingredients?
