CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Where is the best place to keep snails at home?

1. It likes dark, moist and secluded environment, hides during the day and comes out at night, and is very sensitive to strong light stimulation.

2. They like to burrow into loose humus soil to live, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients, which can last up to 12 hours.

3. Omnivorous and picky eaters coexist.

4. They like humidity and are afraid of flooding. On humid nights, if you put wet food in the environment, the snails will have a more active appetite. However, flooding can suffocate the snails.

5. Self-eating. As soon as the baby snails are hatched, they will crawl and eat without the care of their mother. When they are attacked by enemies, their heads and feet will retract into the shell and secrete mucus to seal the shell opening; when the shell is damaged, they can secrete certain substances to repair the body and shell.

6. Very tolerant. Snails have amazing survival abilities and are very tolerant of cold, heat, hunger, and drought.

7. Prefers constant temperature breeding. The temperature is constant between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius, and the growth, development and reproduction are vigorous.

Natural Enemies

The most deadly natural enemy of snails is fireflies (the larvae eat the snail's body, and the adults lay eggs inside the snail's body). There are also snail beetles and mice. Some natural enemies that are not easy to find are some parasitic wasps and "flour mites". Flour mites should be a kind of white insects. Many of them live in groups and feed on the body fluids and epidermal mantle of snails or slugs. They will not cause much harm to Changxian in a short time.

Snails are one of the most common mollusks on land. They mainly feed on plants, especially the sprouts and tender leaves of crops.

Snails like to bury themselves in the sand. I raised them when I was a kid. You have to keep the sand moist and sprinkle some water on it frequently. Put some clean vegetable leaves. I used a flower pot and covered it with a glass. They like to eat cucumbers very much. My snails also dug holes and gave birth to many babies, but the densely packed babies were disgusting after they came out of their shells. Hehehehe...

But it is OK not to put sand in the fish tank, and you don't need to add water, just keep the fish tank moist. Sand is easier to control.

Use cardboard boxes to keep it in the corner. Use it at noon and night.

Shady and moist places need leaves
