I Just Discovered A New Oto Food

[soritan]

So I just got myself a few brig apple snails a week or so ago, and I've been feeding them various veggies. I discovered that they like dandelion leaves, from another forum, and went and got some.

My ottos are also dining on them. I've never seen my ottos eat so much. I just thought I'd pass that along. A search for 'dandelion leaves' doesn't turn up this random fact for me. I figured someone might find it useful.


I simply wild picked my clean dandelion leaves and shoved them into the freezer. After a day or so in there, I thaw and server. I've read of others doing the more normal blanching method, but haven't tried it yet.

I'm going to try this.

I wonder if they'd appreciate some dandelion and burdock

Thanks man, I used to feed them to my gold nugget but I have been searching for a good food for my ottos for ages now.

The forum I found the info on, also says that they keep very well in the freezer, so you can stock up for winter months in advance.
