feeding and spirulina flakes

[raystrawberries]

Heya! I recently got an achatina fulica called Quinoa and need some help on what to feed them. I've been giving them fresh Collard greens, cabagge, lettuce, carrot, cucumber, apple and soaked spirulina flakes.

I also tried bananana, mushroom and brocolli but they didn't eat it, I'm worried that this diet might not be providing enough nutrients to Quinoa, so what else could I try to feed them?

Also, how often should I offer them Spirulina flakes? I give it every 1-2 days and they always eat it all.

*I'm not sure about Quinoa's age, but their shell is 7 cm long so I guess they're an adult already*

I would say spirulina no more than once a week.
The current diet sounds good but you can also try most other leafy greens, veg and fruits to see what they like - try other varieties of lettuce and greens, sweet potato, corn, butternut squash, courgette, tomato, radish etc.
Try to stay away from onions or anything in the onion family as some people believe these may be toxic to snails.
Snails also sometimes enjoy other things as an occasional treat such as pumpkin seeds, nuts (unsalted and unflavoured only), soaked cat/dog kibble, soaked fish flakes, or even a small piece of soaked brown bread.
