CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it harmful to raise snails without soil? (Is it harmful to raise snails without soil? How to raise them?)

1. Should white jade snails use coconut soil or calcium soil?

White jade snails do not have to be raised in soil. They are easy to raise and can be raised without soil. They only need to be raised in a cool place. White jade snails mostly come out in the early morning and dusk and hide in the shade at noon. The breeder needs to prepare a shelter. It is recommended to feed snails with succulent plants and water them once a day.

2. Can snails be raised without soil?

Yes. Snails can be raised without soil, but it is recommended to raise them with soil. Soil helps to keep the environment moist and promote the healthy growth of snails. It is best to spread some sterilized soil in the container before feeding snails, spray water regularly, and replace new soil every one or two months to maintain soil moisture.

However, snails like cool and humid places. Without soil, moisture is easily lost, so it is best to raise snails with soil. Humidity is very important, especially for small snails.

3. 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.

4. Will snails die if they leave the soil?

Will die

The heavy protective shell on the snail's body is a great way to prevent natural enemies. Even when spraying pesticides, the snail curls up in the shell and is safe. Ordinary pesticides have little effect on snails. Generally, snails have the habit of hiding during the day and coming out at night, and cannot tolerate strong light.

Snails are active frequently from April to October every year, especially in the rainy and humid seasons. Snails are more active. Through snail breeding and careful observation, you will find that snails have strong adaptability. Some melon peels, fruit peels, various feeds, grass, wheat bran, cake feeds, etc. are all its food. Snails are not only active at night, but also when there is not too strong sunlight, cloudy days, etc.

Slugs, also known as slugs, are molluscs. The biggest difference between them and snails is that they do not have a hard shell. They are also one of the pests that harm vegetables.

Slugs are rarely seen during the day, but are active at night. After a slug crawls, it leaves a white mark where it crawls. Slugs have a strong ability to resist hunger. When food is scarce, slugs hide in dark places, do not eat, drink or move, and enter a dormant state. Once the external conditions are suitable, they come out at night to look for food.

5. How to raise snails? What species of snails are suitable as pets? Must there be soil in the cage where the snail lives? Can snails give birth to baby snails without soil?

It is good for beginners to raise white jade. It is best to have soil. Snails sometimes like to burrow into the soil. They can lay eggs without soil, but the eggs must be hatched in moist soil. It is OK to feed them vegetable leaves at ordinary times.

6. Can a snail's nest be made without soil? Is it okay if there are small ants in the soil?

White jade snails are easy to raise, and they can be grown with or without soil.

7. How to raise wild snails and how long can they live?

The wild snails picked up need to be provided with a moist, cool place for breeding, maintaining a temperature of 16-30 degrees and 60% humidity, feeding vegetables and fruits daily, and keeping away from the sun and salt. Snails are easily killed when exposed to salt and sunlight.

1. Breeding environment. The breeding room should be dark and humid. Snails like darkness, not because they don't need sunlight, but because they should avoid direct sunlight. For example, they can be raised in buildings, bungalows, basements, air-raid shelters, etc.

2. Custom-made breeding boxes. Or according to the actual situation (wooden boxes are best made of odorless poplar, willow, or birch). Plastic basins, brick pools, etc. can also be used as substitutes.

3. Requirements for breeding soil. It is better to use fine river sand for breeding snails. For young snails, you can add garden soil that is rich in humus, loose and moist, but it must not contain pest eggs, and must not be contaminated by harmful substances such as fertilizers and pesticides.

4. Temperature control. When the temperature is controlled above 12 degrees, they can mate and lay eggs. 15℃ to 25℃ is the most suitable temperature for reproduction. When the temperature is below 5 degrees above zero and above 32 degrees, they will enter a dormant state.

5. Ensuring humidity is the core of management. 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.

8. I bought two snails and keep them in pots. How do I keep them in soil?

White jade snails are easy to raise, and they can be grown with or without soil.

9. Can I raise snails with just sand?

Instead of putting sand, put soil in the box. Spread a layer of sterilized breeding soil in the box. This soil can be some soil dug from the vegetable field. Spread the soil on the bottom of the box. Don't spread too much. The height is about one-fourth of the box. Because snails like to live in a humid environment, the breeding soil must be kept moist and not too dry. Therefore, you can spray some water on the soil according to the dryness of the soil.
