Japanese Trapdoor snails...........
While coming down to visit my daughter and her boys stopped at a pet shop, my 8 yr old grandson, feel in love with some 'mystery snail' asked if he could get some for pets, I said ok as they are legal in Missouri, I figured I'd just put them in one of my fish tanks............

Well they turned out to be trapdoors, they are still legal here and I keep several dozen in my pond (but have never kept them inside). I thought about adding these to the pond, but the water temp is in the low 40's(F) and dropping

, and we don't want to shock and/or kill them.
The tank they are in now is a grow out tank (75 gallon) that is currently housing some bubble eyed goldfish. I know what they eat in the pond, and they do a very good job, but does anyone here know what I can feed them till spring? I gave them a couple dying lily leaves to munch on (they acted like they hadn't seen food in weeks and the leaves were gone with in a couple hours!

), but I'll be running out of those soon, especially after it freezes (and that darn waters cold!!!) I've offered them algae pellets but they don't seem to like them as much as the goldfish. (kinda like kids and broccoli!)
Anyone have any suggestions?
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated by my grandson and I.
Thank you in advance
