Mystery snaila

Hi everyone Ive heard so much about boiling eggs shells and feeding them to your snails for Ca.
While this seems to be perfectly legitemate especially with popularity, is it actually possible for the snails to eat the shells they are pretty **** solid and considering (from what i believe) they have no teeth as such.

And perhaps is it better to boil or roast them? My spidey senses are telling me roasting would work better other opinions!?

Snail tanks. It does initially float but will eventually sink. As long as you turn it skin side down once it's down you're good to go

Tumms are a great source of calcium. They love the berry flavor.
