1. How to raise small snails?

We all like to keep some pets, because pets can bring people happiness and help their owners eliminate some loneliness. However, some people want to keep small snails, so how should snails be fed?

Step 1: First, you need to find a box, preferably a sealed box with a lid (must be breathable). If you don’t have one, you can also use an open box and cover it with a layer of net to prevent the snail from crawling away.

Step 2: Then put paper towels on the bottom of the box, preferably smell-free paper towels, and then spray them with water because snails need a humid environment, otherwise they will dry out and die.

Step 3: Generally speaking, snails should be fed three times a day. Before feeding, check whether the paper towel is clean (whether the snail has defecated). If it is dirty, replace it with a new moist paper towel before feeding the snail.

Step 4: In addition, snails do not like sunlight and must not be kept in the sun. The room temperature between 25 and 30 degrees is the most suitable environmental temperature for snails.

Step 5: You can feed the snails some vegetable leaves and fruit slices, because snails are omnivores and like to eat these things. However, they cannot contain salt, because snails are afraid of salt.

Step 6: You can also put some grass or branches in the snail box. This will create a better living environment for the snail and allow the snail to crawl around so it isn't too monotonous.

2. What do you need to prepare to raise snails?

To raise snails, you need to prepare a breeding site or a transparent, odorless container, moist soil, leaves, branches, food troughs, green fodder, concentrated feed, etc. When raising snails, you need to reasonably match the food according to the growth stage, and clean up the uneaten food in time.

3. How to arrange a snail breeding tank?

The snail's living environment needs to be comfortable. The soil in the tank should be at least 2 inches deep and moist. Remember, this is not the same soil you buy from a florist. You can dig some soil from your backyard, or buy soil that is specifically designed for growing worms.

Snails need air. Snails need to breathe just like humans, so poke a few holes in the plastic container. Also, keep the room humid and at a comfortable temperature.

Meet the snail's basic needs. You don't have to sing to them, because snails don't have ears. However, snails do have eyes and mouths, so make sure they have enough light and food. Check regularly to make sure these needs are met.

Snails are vegetarians. They eat natural food, even rotten food (and they like rotten food the most). Snails love to eat fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and soil. You can try feeding them lettuce, wheat flour and white beans. If you want to explore what food is most appetizing to snails, you can see what kind of food makes snails poop. Also, don't forget the water!

Snails are nocturnal. If you turn on a strong light, they will immediately retract into their shells. If you want to observe snails carefully, the best time is in the evening, at night and at dawn. If you want to excite the snail, you can sprinkle it with water.

Make sure the snail has plenty of leaves to play with. Don't worry, snails use their tentacles to avoid obstacles (they don't have very good eyesight). Add some leaves and branches to the snail tank and water it at least once a day. Add a layer of pebbles, soil, and leaves, and sprinkle it with water. If you haven't added the snail yet, you can do so now.

Imitate the changing seasons. You have to know the seasons. Is it spring or summer now? If so, great! This is the best time for snails to mate. If it is not spring or summer, you need to imitate the spring or summer environment. In spring or summer, the sun rises early and sets late. You can keep the snails near a lamp and use the light to imitate the rising and setting of the sun.

Snails prefer dark and humid weather. Unless you are also a night owl, it is difficult to observe the activities of snails. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do except try to create a good environment for snails.

Waiting for snails to give birth

Be patient. Now you have to wait patiently for the snails to mate. After mating, some snails will lay eggs after a week, while others will lay eggs after a year; some snails lay eggs all at once, while others lay eggs several times.

Snails are hermaphrodites, which means that a snail has both male and female reproductive organs, but snails do not mate with themselves, they still need to find a mate.

Watch the snail eggs hatch. Depending on the species, the hatching time may vary, so you can only wait and see.

Some snail eggs can hatch in 24 hours, but this is limited to certain genera and may depend largely on the species. It is also affected by the length of the gestation period, the surrounding environment and the temperature of the soil. Snail eggs do not necessarily all hatch at once. Some species of snails have a long gestation period (about 4 weeks), which is even more

4. What do you need to prepare to raise snails?

To raise snails, you need to prepare a site. The site should be close to the natural environment, with good air quality, fertile soil and no pollution. The best breeding grounds are farmlands and orchards. You need to know the temperature and humidity that are suitable for snail growth. The temperature should be kept at around 25 degrees, which can promote faster growth and development. The humidity should be around 40%, not too high or too low. You should also pay attention to the lighting. You should be able to adjust the light intensity well and install a dimming setting.
