CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it better to raise snails with soil or sand? (Is it better to raise snails with soil or sand?)

1. I want to know what conditions are needed for snail farming?

1. Breeding environment The breeding room should be dark and humid. Snails like darkness, not that they do not need sunlight, but to avoid direct strong light. For example, they can be raised in buildings, bungalows, basements, air-raid shelters, etc. Each group occupies 1 square meter. 2. Customization of breeding boxes The breeding practice of snail farmers across the country has proved that a breeding box with a volume of 40*50*10cm can breed about 100 snails, and a group of snails (200) can have two such wooden boxes, or it can be customized according to actual conditions (wooden boxes are preferably made of odorless poplar, willow, and birch). Plastic basins, brick pools, etc. can also be used as substitutes. 3. Requirements for breeding soil It is better to use finer river sand for breeding snails. Young cattle can add vegetable garden soil rich in humus and loose and moist, but it must not contain pest eggs, and it must not be contaminated by harmful substances such as fertilizers and pesticides. 4. Temperature control: When the temperature is controlled above 12 degrees, mating and laying eggs are possible. 15℃～25℃ is the most suitable temperature for reproduction. When the temperature is 5 degrees below zero and above 32 degrees, the snails will enter a dormant state. Therefore, we must do everything possible to ensure that the indoor temperature is above 15 degrees, so that more eggs can be laid and economic benefits can be improved. Under suitable conditions, the snail can breed 3 to 5 times a year, and each breeder can produce more than 4 kilograms of commercial cattle per year. 5. Ensuring humidity is the core of management. The indoor air humidity should be controlled within the range of 70% to 85%. The breeding soil can be kneaded into a ball and will fall apart when touched (this is a sign of 30% to 40% humidity). The humidity of the breeding soil for breeding cattle can be 30%. 35% to 40% is best for commercial cattle. The thickness is generally 800 meters. 6. Feeding good feed is the guarantee of success. Snails are omnivorous animals. Green feed: such as cabbage, lettuce, sunflower leaves, melon leaves, bean leaves, tomatoes, eggplants, etc.; juicy feed: such as various melon peels, fruit tubers, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, etc. Add some concentrated feed. Snails have a wide diet, but a small appetite. A group of snails eat only two large cabbage leaves a day. Feed the snails once every two days, and the commercial cattle are fed once a day. It is best to put the feed at dusk. 7. Breeding of snails Snails are hermaphroditic lower molluscs. When the breeding cattle are sexually mature, after cross-breeding, regardless of male or female, they all lay eggs. After the breeding cattle mate, they start to dig holes and lay eggs about 10 days later, and it takes 1 to 2 days to lay eggs. Collect the egg masses and put them in a half-bottle of wet sand for natural incubation. The hatching is completed in 12 to 15 days. 8. Management of Commercial Snails In the process of raising free-range snails, managing young and growing snails well is the key to success. ① Keep the breeding box clean and hygienic. ② Maintain a reasonable density to prevent crowding. 2,000 to 3,000 snails per square meter is appropriate, and the boxes should be divided in time as the snails grow. ③ Control the temperature and humidity. The temperature is generally controlled between 12℃ and 30℃, and the moisture content of the breeding soil is preferably 40%. ④ Pay attention to ventilation. [1]

2. Methods and techniques for breeding land snails?

1. Suitable environment. In the process of raising snails, mix leaf mold, peat soil and fine sand to prepare the soil, and place the breeding container in a cool and ventilated place, keep the temperature at around 23 degrees, and the air humidity at 60 to 70 percent. Pay attention to the snails raised in the open air, and take shading measures for them.

2. Feeding. Snails are omnivorous and partial eaters. During the breeding process, they can be fed with various vegetable leaves, fruit peels, wheat flour, white beans and other foods, and the types of food should be changed regularly. Do not feed a single food to avoid poor growth of snails. In addition, irritating foods should not be fed to snails.

3. Daily maintenance. When raising snails, you must ensure that the breeding environment is clean and sanitary to prevent bacteria from growing, which is not conducive to the growth and health of the snails. Usually, you should clean the box every three to four days to remove food residues, snail feces, etc. in the box. Note that leaves and branches need to be placed in the box to provide a place for the snails to crawl and play.

3. Methods and management of Oriental snail farming?

1. Environment: Snails like to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment. Therefore, they should be raised in a humid and cool environment. They can be raised in boxes or pots. Cover the boxes or pots with moist sand, and then put food and snails in them.

2. Food: Snails have a wide range of diets. They can be fed tender vegetable leaves, weeds, melon and fruit peels, crop stems and leaves, various green grasses and barley feeds, etc. They should be fed three times a day. Note that snails will die if they come into contact with salt, so do not feed them food containing salt.

3. Temperature: The suitable growth temperature for snails is 25-30℃. When the temperature is below 15℃, snails will hibernate. If the temperature is too high, snails will lose a lot of water and die.

2. Should I raise snails in soil or sand?

1. It is better to use soil to raise snails, because the soil contains the fungal substances they need, and snails usually dig holes in the soil.

2. Mix garden soil, sandy soil, yellow sand, cinder ash and stone powder in the ratio of 3:2:1:5:0.5 to make breeding soil. Then expose it to the sun for a few days for disinfection. Finally, add appropriate amount of water to make the soil moisture reach 40%. Note that the breeding soil needs to be replaced every 1-2 months.

3. Snail's living habits

1. Snails like to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment. They are afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. They usually hide in holes during the day and come out to find food at night.

2. Snails like to burrow into loose humus soil to live, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients. They grow well in an environment of 23-30℃ and will hibernate when the temperature is below 15℃.

3. Snails have strong survival abilities and strong tolerance to cold, heat, hunger and drought. Snails have a wide range of diets, including all kinds of vegetables, weeds, melon and fruit peels, crop stems and leaves, flowers, juicy fruits, etc.

4. Has anyone raised white jade snails? What kind of soil should be used? Is it okay to raise them without soil? What can be used instead of soil?

It is best to use sand, which is easier to clean up the feces. It is also OK to not use soil, just put some water in the basin, cover the basin with a basin, or put a piece of glass on it to prevent it from escaping.

5. Can I only put sand when raising snails?

If you add yellow sand to the nutrient soil, you cannot raise snails. If you want to raise snails, it must be all sand.

6. Is it okay to raise snails in a building?

Can.

1. Snails can be kept at home. They can be kept in buildings.

2. When raising snails, it is best to put them in a plastic container at home. The plastic container should be breathable. If there is no breathable container, the owner can use scissors to cut a few small holes at the bottom of the container to make it breathable.

When the container is ready, you need to find the right soil. Because snails live in the soil, especially in winter when the temperature is very low, the soil you choose should have a certain temperature, so that the snails can feel safe. The soil can be ordinary soil, but it is best to choose coconut soil instead of sand, which is not suitable for snails to survive.
