I own a baby albino Lissachatina Reticulata and some wild garden snails, (in different tanks obviously) my retic eats loads of his cuttlefish bone but one of my wild snails does not seem to eat any, I’m worried he’ll get calcium deficiency problems, how can I get him to eat it?

You could try scraping some of the cuttlefish bone onto his food for a couple of days to try and get him used to it (but you shouldn't do this in the long term as it's better for them to regulate their own calcium intake). Some people also add a drop or two of beer to the cuttle to attract the snails. Alternatively you could try a different calcium source like limestone flour.

Thanks, I will try that later and hopefully it will work.
