How to breed snails

Breeding equipment: prepare an open box, cover it with a layer of net, put a layer of paper towel on the bottom, and spray it with water. Control temperature: The temperature suitable for snail growth is 25-30℃. Feeding food: Feed vegetable leaves 3 times a day. Note: Clean the feces and food residues of the snail every 2-3 days.

Snail breeding methods 1. Breeding equipment

Snails like a humid and cool environment. You can prepare an open box and cover it with a layer of net to prevent the snail from escaping. Then put a layer of paper towels at the bottom of the box and spray them with water. If the paper towels are dry, continue to spray them with water. If they are dirty, replace them in time.

2. Control the temperature

The suitable temperature for snail growth is 25-30℃. When the temperature is 15℃, they will enter hibernation. When the temperature is too high, the water evaporates quickly and the snails will die due to lack of water. Snails do not like strong light and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight during breeding.

3. Feeding food

Snails feed on vegetable leaves. During the breeding process, they can be fed three times a day, with only 1-2 vegetable leaves needed each time. Be careful to make sure the leaves are clean to avoid getting sick. At the same time, do not feed them salty foods, as snails will die when exposed to salt.

4. Notes

During the snail breeding period, regular cleaning is required. If the environment is too dirty, it will breed many bacteria and germs, which will have an adverse effect on the growth of snails. Usually, it is cleaned once every 2-3 days to clean up all the feces and food residues.

【Life habits】

Snails like to live in a dark, moist, loose and humus-rich environment. They hide during the day and come out at night. They are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable environment: temperature 16-30℃ (23-30℃, the fastest growth and development); air humidity 60%-90%; breeding soil humidity about 40%; pH 5-7. When the temperature is below 15℃, they will hibernate when it is above 33℃. If it is below 5℃ or above 40℃, they may be frozen to death or heat to death.

Likes to burrow into loose humus soil to live, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients, which can last up to 12 hours. Omnivorous and partial eaters coexist. Likes moisture and is afraid of flooding. In humid nights, and with wet food, the snail's appetite is active. But flooding can suffocate the snail. Self-feeding survival. As soon as the baby snail hatches, it will crawl and eat without the mother's care. When invaded by enemies, its head and feet will retract into the shell, and secrete mucus to seal the shell mouth; when the shell is damaged and disabled, it can secrete certain substances to repair the flesh and shell. Very tolerant. Snails have amazing survival ability and are very tolerant to cold, heat, hunger and drought. Like constant temperature breeding. The temperature is constant between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius, and the growth and reproduction are vigorous.

Snail's diet

Snails have a very wide range of foraging food, and their staple foods include various vegetables, weeds, and melon and fruit peels; leaves, stems, buds, flowers, and juicy fruits of crops; and all kinds of green grass and green plant feed, succulent feed, bran feed, and cake feed.

[Fear of snail]

Afraid of salt, due to osmosis, the water in the body will penetrate from the low-salt body to the high-salt body. Salt causes the snail to lose water in the body and die of dehydration.
