anyone ever tried to give mussel shells as calcium suplements to Gals ?
or do they contain any components that is not good for the snail?

I've offered oyster shells to my snails, which they ignored. They seem to like powdered limestone the most, even more than cuttle.

i gues if they really need calcium they will eat everything with calcium in it.

I tried whole, but my snails wasn't interested of it. So I guess I need to go to maniac mode and smash hell out off those shells with hammer so I can powder them. I'm thinking about making some calsium mix just in case I ran out of calsium.. I'm thinking mixing cuttle fish from left overs, eggs shells and mussel shells. Next week I'll buy my own peppercorn mill. Dad isn't too keen about me using our mill to powder eggs shells lol.

I think it's a good idea to use one mill solely for grinding calcium.
