I've been pondering...
I've read that snails can be fed meat, I gave my Fulica a few pieces of chicken mince (I'm a vegan myself but my stole it from my dog who I feed on BARF) and she loved it! I've never seen a piece of food go so quickly!
Does anyone else feed this sort of thing to their snails? And how good is it for them?

We have discussed this a couple of time before on here. As far as I know snails are opportunistic in the wild and will eat an animal carcass if they come across it. I personally dont feed mine meat basically cause they will need cleaned out far more and there is bound to be more bacteria etc in the tank if there are strips of meat in there as opposed to fruit/veggies and this applies to their faeces after eating meat to. If you are happy with this though it's fine to feed them some meat products in conjunction with the usual fruit/veggies. They also love porridge I think I read a paper somewhere saying snails that eat meat products also grow quicker but I can't find the link to it just now. Brian.

I think someone on here mentioned something about hedgehog food but I can't remember where I saw it.

I gave all my snails a small amount of raw minced steak some while ago, most of them ignored it completely except the degneri and they ate every single piece!! You have to be very vigilant cleaning up though, cos what goes in one end as sure as sure will come out of the other. ;D
