Hey all, I was curious if anyone sees any issue with feeding japanese trapdoor snails (Viviparus malleattus) to my aquatic salamanders. These are snails I culture myself in outdoor vats with plants and feed various types of leaf lettuce. My vats are clear of pests (hydroids and such) but wasnt sure if theres a risk of parasites or disease with this snail species. I already feed ramshorn and european pond snails (crushed/deshelled basically) to my caudata when the snail population gets too high in my planted tanks.
My plan is to freeze them, then deshell and chop them to appropriate size. This is what I commonly do with them to feed various fish and reptiles.
Any information or opinions are appreciated.
Thanks!
