Re: Feeder snails, (Haplotrema minimum)
If you could culture them yourself they would make a perfect diet for your frogs. Yes wild caught snails do carry parasites like many other wild caught bugs. They have no problem digesting the shell and it is a very good source of calcium. snails have a nutritional value comparable to earth worms. The only problem i can see as far as snails goes are the parasites they may carry. What i would do is when laid remove the eggs from the parents bin and place them in a seperate bin of their own. This will reduce the risk of parasites, snails gain calcium from the plants they eat so of course keep using romain lettuce, and other green leaf plants.
