ErinV Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I cooked a frozen green bean until it was tender yet still firm. After 4.5 hours in the tank, no takers. Is it supposed to be mushy or do I just have picky snails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Mine aren't takers for green beans either. You can keep trying until maybe they try OR maybe they'll never try. I see a lot of other forum members putting them in tanks and their snails eat them- so I can't help but be a little miffed. Mine tend to like the cucumber slices I put in. I just keep trying different things until they show interest. I generally keep this sort of thing in the tank for 24hrs before I remove it.

ErinV Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Update It took about 24/36 hours for the snails to notice the bean. After that, they had it gone in about another 24/36 hours. Good thing hubby was home today or fork would have had to stay in until next water change. Really thinking I need to get a pair of those tweezer/claw sticks to pick things up. With a full tank, hubby had to stand on a chair and was almost upto his shoulder to reach the fork. He is 5'11, I am 5'2. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
