My snail Elza is not growing it's shell. I give it PLENTY of egg shells for calcium. Her body seems to be rapidly growing each week, and these days she barely could fit into her shell since her shell's not growing.   please help. please tell me wat's wrong wih her. thanks. |

Can you get any cuttle for her? Maybe the egg shells aren't working, for some reason.

i don't know...i've never used eggshells for mine. can you get cuttlefish? maybe you could try powdering the cuttlefish and sprinkling small amounts of it on her food.
my tiger snail used to like when i made her an oat mix, with oats, water, fruit, and then i mixed powdered cuttlefish into that. maybe you could try it.
kind regards
Mike
