π The #1 mistake new snail owners make?
β Not offering calcium all the time. Without it, shells get thin, crack, and crumble. Some snails even start eating their own shell β thatβs their way of saying something is wrong.
β
The fix is simple:
𦴠Cuttlebone β toss it in the enclosure
π₯ Crushed eggshell β bake, crush, done
π§±Calcium sticks β a fun little snack
The rule: calcium should always be available. Your snail will take exactly what it needs
π€ Save this post for later π And send it to a friend who just got their first snail! π¬ What calcium source does your snail love most?
