Ouch! 🤕 That snail looks like it had something or someone, bite or tear one of its eye stalks off! 😬 Glad to see that it was able to regenerate it. 😌

Never heard of hypercalcemia, but I'm glad to see they seem to have recovered! Just to know, how are you feeding calcium to the snail?

Just to know, how are you feeding calcium to the snail? in turkey Bird Breeders (budgerigar or parrot) use Calamary Bone for Calcium resource, so i heard snail petters also use Calamary bone, so i grind some bone and sprinkle to their vegetables (sorry for my bad english) |

Your english is very good. I think you're talking about Cuttlefish bone which snail keepers here often use too. Don't put the calcium directly on the vegetables, though, the snail needs the calcium separate from the rest of it's food because they self-regulate it and only eat it when they know they need it, if you put it on the vegetables they can overdose on the calcium because they'll be forced to eat it when they don't need it and that can make them ill. If the problem with your snail's eye was hypercalcemia then maybe mixing the calicum and vegetables caused it. Just put the bone whole somewhere in their enclosure away from the food and that will be fine. |

Hi again, great to see the snail has healed!
They are a Lissachatina Fulica. They need 22-24 degrees celsius and ~70-80% humidity.
