Calcium for snails?

[Psylk87]

I know I should ask the invert board but I have in the past and never got an answer. I know a lot of you keep snails and I have my first baby mystery snails. I ordered them online and have had them about 2 weeks. I am concerned about them getting enough calcium for there shells. So what should I be doing for them? Also how much and how often should they be fed algea pellets and fresh veggies? I have tons of diatoms in the tank and well as live plants. I have been leaving teh dying leaves for them to munch on but since they are babies I want to make sure they are getting enough to eat as well.

Thanks for any help or comments. These are the first mystery snails I have ever had so any and all comments are welcome.

I'm far from a snail expert, but I wouldn't worry about calcium unless you have acidic water.

You can put in a cuttlebone for them. That would help. If you had real hard water it wouldn't be a big issue.

Moved to inverts.

I feed mine blanched spinach and kale for there shells, i also add calcium blocks but you can use cuttlebone instead. Mine are fed daily either veg and or algae wafers. I prefer to use the veg more.
