CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to keep snails

1. How to raise snails well

1. Green feed, such as tender branches and leaves of green plants, is the basic feed for snails, which is rich in chlorophyll, plant protein, inorganic salts and vitamins.

2. Melon and potato feeds such as pumpkin, wax gourd, potato, sweet potato, etc. are rich in starch, sugar, minerals and water, are crispy and juicy, and have good palatability.

3. Bran feeds such as wheat bran, rice bran, corn husks, bean husks, etc. are rich in starch, phosphorus, sulfur and vitamin E.

4. Oil meal feeds such as soybean meal, sesame meal, bean cake, rice bran cake, etc. can provide rich protein, oil, and vitamin B.

5. Animal feeds such as fish meal, bone meal, earthworm meal, etc. are high in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, and contain a full range of essential amino acids.

6. Inorganic feeds include the number of times they are fed. In hot summer, they are generally fed once a day. In spring and autumn, they are fed once every 1-2 days. In winter, if they are not heated, they can be fed with sufficient feed before hibernation, and then fed with sufficient feed after hibernation, so that they can recover their strength as soon as possible and grow and develop in time. If they are heated in winter, the number of times they are fed can be controlled according to the temperature, usually once every other day.

Bone meal, shell powder, silkworm shell powder, shrimp shell powder, etc. can provide rich calcium.

Hope to get more points.

2. Everyone in school was given a snail. I would like to ask how to raise it. Urgent help!

Just add some fresh leaves at the right time and don't let them rot! Keep the environment moist. Don't let the sun shine continuously. Take them out for a walk if you feel like it. On a clean lawn or tree. If you don't starve to death, you can live. Things to pay attention to when feeding snails artificially

Snails are omnivorous animals that need a variety of nutrients during their growth and reproduction. Experiments have shown that it takes 210 days for a one-month-old snail to grow to 50 grams when fed with a single feed, while it only takes 150 days when fed with a compound feed, a difference of two months. Therefore, to feed snails well, the first thing is to scientifically formulate the feed, and the second is to pay attention to the scientific feeding method.

1. Common feed types and characteristics

1. Green feed, such as tender branches and leaves of green plants, is the basic feed for snails, which is rich in chlorophyll, plant protein, inorganic salts and vitamins.

2. Melon and potato feeds such as pumpkin, wax gourd, potato, sweet potato, etc. are rich in starch, sugar, minerals and water, are crispy and juicy, and have good palatability.

3. Bran feeds such as wheat bran, rice bran, corn husks, bean husks, etc. are rich in starch, phosphorus, sulfur and vitamin E.

4. Oil meal feeds such as soybean meal, sesame meal, bean cake, rice bran cake, etc. can provide rich protein, oil, and vitamin B.

5. Animal feeds such as fish meal, bone meal, earthworm meal, etc. are high in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, and contain a full range of essential amino acids.

6. Inorganic feed includes bone meal, shell meal, silkworm shell meal, shrimp shell meal, etc. which can provide rich calcium.

It should be pointed out that snails do not eat irritating foods such as onions, garlic, leeks, peppers, etc. When feeding, poisonous plants such as euphorbia, aconite, hypericum, celery, and arisaema should not be mixed in.

2. How to prepare feed

When preparing snail feed, we should not only consider the snail's age, weight, physiological state, etc., but also pay attention to the following issues:

1. In compound feed, green feed should be more, and beans, cereals and bran feed should be less.

2. Choose feed that is cheap and has high nutritional value according to the region and season.

3. When preparing feed, at least three types of feed should be selected to ensure that the nutrients are complete.

4. The prepared feed should not contain toxic or moldy substances.

3. Feeding Method

1. Feeding amount Snails have a large food intake, and their daily food intake accounts for about 4% to 5% of their body weight. Generally speaking, the amount of food fed each time should be higher than 4%, but not too much, so that they can finish eating before the next feeding.

2. Feeding frequency In hot summer, feed once a day. In spring and autumn, feed once every 1-2 days. If there is no heating in winter, feed enough feed before hibernation, and feed enough feed after hibernation, so that it can recover its strength as soon as possible and grow and develop in time. If it is heated in winter, the feeding frequency can be controlled according to the temperature, usually feeding once every other day.

3. Feeding time: Snails are active at night, so feeding should be arranged in the evening and there is no need to feed them during the day.

4. Feeding method: It is best to choose a single variety of vegetables, fruit leaves, and green plant stems and leaves each time to avoid waste caused by snails only eating the feed they like. Green feed can be placed directly on the breeding soil, or on a net woven from plastic ropes, allowing the snails to forage for food on their own. Rice bran, wheat bran, fish meal and other feeds should be placed in a porcelain basin and placed in the middle of the pool or box. Compound feed should be mixed with warm water in a basin first, and the amount of water should be enough to make a ball when held in the hand and disperse when released. Remember that feed cannot be placed in an iron basin to prevent the iron from rusting and poisoning the snails after eating.

3. How to keep snails alive

Snails like dark and humid places, with a layer of wet sand underneath.

Put some wood and leaves or something like that, which is food it likes to eat.

Do not expose to the sun.

4. How to keep snails alive

Method: 1. About the utensils for breeding For pet snails, in order to have a better viewing effect, we often use some transparent utensils, such as plastic and glass. The size of the utensils should not be too large, because the range of activities of snails is not large, and a small fish tank of more than ten centimeters is the best. 2. About food Pet snails are different from commercial snails, so we do not need to buy professional feeds for breeding. Just feed them some fruits and vegetable leaves. For example, cabbage leaves are a good choice. Generally, when feeding, just rinse the leaves. 3. About humidity When preparing the breeding utensils, lay a layer of gauze on the bottom of the window. Then humidify it with a spray bottle every day to prevent it from getting sick. Do not add water to the bottom of the vessel, which is easy to breed bacteria and cause the snail to get sick. 4. About light Snails do not like strong light. They like warm, moist and shaded places, so when breeding, be careful not to let them be exposed to strong light, otherwise they will die. 5. About temperature The most suitable breeding temperature is 16 to 30 degrees. Dear, you must control the temperature well.
