Oyster shell? Sept 25, 2011 20:16:32 GMT

Hi,
I've been trying to get crushed or powdered oyster shell for my snails, but am having difficulty. Looking on eBay I can only find fairly small quantities as part of 'calcium packs' with limestone flour/cuttlefish bone and it seems quite expensive. There is also larger quantities of poultry grit but I'm not sure if this is the same and whether it would be fine enough for the snails?

Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on suppliers of crushed oyster shell?

Thanks
