I posted this in another thread - but i thought it'd be helpful for you too!

Without a doubt - Snails have all the goodness that blueys need. Anyone that argues this should probably come to Oz and pay attention to blueys in the wild. Unfortunately for blueys, they don't have the luxury of Cat food, pureed fruit, Green Vegies (other than Dandelions), and other assorted foods we feed them. Snails, Bugs, worms, occasional bits of fruit, water, Dandelions and the occasional rodent make up the blueys natural diet. So basically - if you are ever in a situation that you don't know what to feed your bluey - think about what has been said in this thread by Ian (deadEye), Lisa and myself. After all - we have wild blueys in our backyards!

Dont worry too much silver, all the caresheet greens have the best cal to ph ratios,so feed some of them to bring up the ratio on the calci side, if it was an Atkins diet{ meat only} you could worry, balanced is all good.
