just a thread to sing the praises of putting liquid calcium in the land snail's spray bottle
its amazing! its like a magic potion. snails that havent grown for months or years have started growing again. my babies are growing much faster. even snails i thought were full grown have new growth. its great. they grow and yet they dont have to eat cuttlefish ;D

Yup - it's fab, isn't it? I mean Gary's grown at least half a centimetre to 1cm just from a couple of weeks of use. And for those who dont know, Gary hasn't grown much at all in the last 6 months.
And Cooper the funny fulica's had a huge growth spurt, and is now around 10cm - which is about an inch bigger than in January. Length, not new growth. New growth would be a couple of inches.

I'm glad I bought some then!! I'll start using it on little Carson and Korben straight away!! Obviously everyone will get it too, but those two are growing really slow. (It's my iredalei and smallest albino reti) Actually my rodatzi are growing pretty slowley too, so maybe they'll benefit as well  |

It is magical!! lol I can sing it's praises too now! OMG I love this stuff lol. All the small snails except my runty albino reti have had growth spurts since using this. IT'S BRILLIANT! ;D My fulica have also grown a little bit more, but more importantly their shells look better, as do Freddie and Izrinas.
My iredalei has grown, his shell is still bad but he's grown!! And then my smithii and rodatzi.... WOW! lol My smithii were growing fast and well anyway, but now they're growing super duper fast lol and my rodatzi have shot up in size too.
It's helped the albino retis shells too, even though the runty one still isn't growing he looks miles better! ;D
*Bows to calcium* lol

Well, I dont know if this is normal for baby fulicas (as in baby babies - tiny weeny ones), but the two Ebay babies are growing about 2mm every day or two (in new shell, not length). 'Course, that might be normal, so wont use it as testamony - but Gary the two-tone/dimi is shooting off, and definitely looking and feeling bigger and heavier too. And Sally's proven me wrong, and grown half a centimetre in shell length, so she's still got obvious stunted growth, but her new growth is in length, not width - if you get me.
I would recommend it to anyone with slow growing snails. Or even fast growing snails - because it would appear it works for them all!
