CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do snails eat? What do they drink? How do you keep them?

Young snails are mostly saprophagous, mainly feeding on decaying plants; adult snails generally feed on green plants, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits of various plants, especially young shoots and succulent plants, as well as various waste papers, pig manure, and plant residues. Snails should be fed once every night, with seasonal vegetables, crops, green manure crops, weed roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits, melon peels, fruit peels, leftovers, and waste paper, plus some concentrated feed, protein feed, and mineral feed. Snails can also be fed once every two days, and they can eat leftovers and humus.

Snails refer to all terrestrial species of the class Gastropoda. In general, Western languages ​​do not distinguish between aquatic snails and terrestrial snails. Snails are an animal that includes many different families and genera. They feed on plants and lay eggs in the soil or on trees. Snails eat leaves of plants, especially vegetables, and are a pest. Farmed snails can eat cabbage, green vegetables, lettuce, various melon and fruit peels, sugar cane, sunflower leaves, vegetable leaves, potato chips, carrots, etc.

To raise snails, you can find a box, preferably a breathable sealed box, and put paper towels on the bottom of the box, preferably odorless paper towels, and then spray them with water, because snails need a humid environment, otherwise they will dry out and die. Generally speaking, snails should be fed three times a day. Before feeding, check whether the paper towels are clean. If they are dirty, replace the old ones with new wet ones, and then feed them. In addition, snails do not like sunlight and cannot be raised in the sun. The room temperature between 25 and 30 degrees is the most suitable environment for snails.

Snail breeding points:

1. To prevent dry wind and cold air from blowing in directly, the entrance should have double doors, hanging cloth and wind shield.

2. Resolutely control the entry of odorous gases into the breeding grounds.

3. The breeding container must have good water permeability and air permeability.

4. Do not use strong light when not working. Darkness is best. Use 15W red bulbs for lighting at night to stimulate egg laying.
