proteins after mating

[daniele]

Goodmorning guys, I have a new question abt feeding, I'm only talking abt Cornu aspersum: should something change in their diet after they mated, since I'm expecting some eggs soon? will they need more protein in order to create eggs?? many animals do need more proteins, so I'm wondering if it is the same with snails... are there other suggestions abt diet or setting? thanks for your help, I tried to search on the forum but with no results...

You’d only need to make sure that they ate after laying eggs. Usually the snail will be “pregnant” for a few days, (really just holding / growing the eggs before laying them) so just ensure its eating healthy.
