1. How often should the coconut soil for raising white jade snails be changed?It does not need to be replaced frequently, but it should be replaced appropriately. If the soil is found to be moldy, it must be replaced in time. When breeding them artificially, the first thing to do is to create an environment suitable for their survival in order to breed them successfully. The first thing is temperature. The suitable temperature for the growth of white jade snails is 20-30 degrees, and they grow fastest at 26-28 degrees. There are certain requirements for humidity. The air humidity in the indoor environment should be between 75% and 95%, and the soil humidity should be between 35% and 45%. When raising fish, it is best to choose garden soil with high fertility or soil rich in organic matter as feed soil. 2. Should the soil for raising snails be loose or tight?It is best to use moist, loose, humus-rich soil for snails, and to prevent the soil from hardening, it is best to replace it once every six months or a year. 3. How often should snails change their soil?Snails usually change their soil once a month! 4. How often should the white jade snail change the sand and soil?30 days. Before breeding white jade snails, you need to provide them with loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. You can mix leaf mold, peat soil, sandy soil, etc. to prepare the soil, and expose the soil to the sun for three to four days to disinfect and sterilize it, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of white jade snails. The white jade snail is an omnivorous animal that mainly feeds on various vegetable leaves. Therefore, during the breeding process, you can feed it vegetable leaves, rotten fruits, white beans and other foods every day or every other day, and change the type of food once a week to avoid a single food that causes poor growth of the white jade snail. 5. 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. 6. Do I need to change the soil for raising white jade snails frequently?To raise white jade snails, you need to use loose, moist, humus-rich soil, and replace it every six months or a year to avoid the soil from becoming compacted and hardened. When breeding, you can also mix farmland soil, sandy soil, yellow sand, cinder ash, and stone powder in a ratio of 3:2:1:5:0.5 to make breeding soil, then expose it to the sun for several days for disinfection, and then add an appropriate amount of water to make the soil humidity reach 40%. Snails have strong survival ability and are tolerant to cold, heat, drought, and hunger. At the same time, they also have a wide range of diets. They can feed on various weeds, vegetables, melon and fruit peels, and can also feed on the stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits of crops. 7. How should I care for my snail? It burrowed into the soil.Breeding Techniques of White Jade Snail 1. Living environment Like other snails, the white jade snail likes to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment. It hides during the day and comes out at night. It is afraid of light and heat, and is most afraid of direct sunlight. It is extremely sensitive to the environment. When the humidity and temperature are not suitable, the snail will retract its body into the shell and secrete mucus to form a protective film to seal the shell mouth to overcome the interference of the adverse environment. When the environment is suitable, the protective film will automatically dissolve and resume activity. Therefore, during the breeding process, attention should be paid to the influence of temperature and humidity. The suitable temperature is 16℃~30℃, humidity is 60%~85%, soil humidity is about 40%, and pH is 5~7. When the temperature is below 15℃ and above 35℃, it will hibernate and stop growing and reproducing. 2. Diet of White Jade Snail Various green plants and bran can be used as food. Generally, they are fed with broad-leaved plants such as cabbage, green vegetables, and lettuce in spring; in summer, they can be fed with large amounts of sugar cane, sunflower leaves, and various melon and fruit peels; in autumn, the temperature is low and the appetite decreases, so they can be fed with some vegetable leaves, potato chips, etc. White Jade Snails do not eat grass or weeds, and refuse to eat onions, leeks, and garlic, which have pungent tastes. In order to speed up the growth rate and increase the egg-laying rate, it is best to add 10% to 15% of wheat bran, rice bran, bean curd residue and other concentrates to the feed, but its digestive ability is weak and it is not easy to feed wheat flour, rice flour and other concentrates rich in starch. Some mineral feeds such as stone powder and shell powder can also be added to the feed to meet the needs of snail growth. Concentrated feed should be crushed, and fruits and tubers should be cut into slices before feeding. Pay attention to the diversity of food to prevent anorexia. Feeding should be done in the evening, and spray with water to wake up before feeding. 3. Reproduction The white jade snail is hermaphroditic and mates with different sexes. It can reproduce all year round in artificial breeding as long as the temperature and humidity are suitable. It usually takes 6 months from hatching to sexual maturity. It can lay eggs 15 to 20 days after mating and fertilization, and lay the eggs in the cave. The eggs are the size of mung beans, covered with a layer of shiny white membrane. Each time, 100 to 200 eggs are laid, and the young snails can hatch in 8 to 15 days. The lifespan is generally 5 to 6 years. The incubation temperature is 20℃~30℃, and the humidity is 80%~90%. If there is mud or feces on the eggs, do not scrub them, because there is a protective film around the eggs to prevent bacteria and microorganisms from invading. Put the eggs in a basin, put soil on top, flatten the soil, and make the humidity consistent with the breeding soil. The eggs are evenly laid, covered with a wet cloth, and then the basin mouth is sealed with a film. After 8 to 15 days, the young snails will emerge from the shell. If there is still no young snail after 25 days, it is a failure. 4. Feeding and management (1) Breeding method: According to the breeding site and equipment, it can be roughly divided into two types: outdoor open type and indoor closed type. For outdoor breeding, ditches can be dug or greenhouses can be built. If trench breeding is adopted, the trench should be built in a sunny place away from the wind, 50 to 70 cm deep, 2 meters wide, and the length should be determined according to the breeding quantity. The trench should be high on one side and low on the other side with a slight slope. It should be covered with film and bamboo curtains to prevent escape and prevent damage from natural enemies such as frogs and birds. For indoor breeding, soil pots, plastic boxes, wooden boxes, cement pools, etc. can be used, and they should be sealed with sand covers, wet cloths, films, etc. to keep moisture and prevent rats. (2) Preparation of breeding soil: The breeding soil should be moist, loose and fertile. Therefore, it is best to use uncontaminated farmland soil and yellow sand, add a small amount of stone powder and mix, expose to the sun for 3 to 5 days for disinfection and sieve for use. The soil ratio is: 30% fine soil, 30% sand, 20% yellow sand, 15% coal ash, 5% stone powder. After adding water, the humidity is about 40%, that is, it can be lumped together with a hand and will fall apart with a blow. The thickness of the soil in the pot is divided into: 10 cm for adult snails, 7 cm for growing snails, and 3 cm for young snails. The breeding soil should be replaced once every 1 to 2 months. (3) Feeding method: Feed young snails with some fresh and tender leaves and some concentrated feed. The temperature should not be lower than 20℃ and should be controlled at 25℃~30℃. Do not allow for excessive temperature changes. Do not spray water directly on young snails. Calcium-containing foods should not be lacking in the feed. After one month, transfer them to adult snail breeding basins. The stocking density should be changed from dense to sparse as the individuals continue to grow. Stock 400~500 snails per square meter, and 200~250 snails before harvesting. A 60×30×25 cm breeding box can hold 100 snails. After 5~6 months, when the shell height is 4 cm and the weight is 40 grams, they can be harvested. 8. How to raise gray snails?Prepare some soil and wet it for the snails to live in. It is best to change the soil every 15 days. Snails like a humid environment, but are afraid of water. They have a wide range of food sources and can be fed with most plants. Additional information Snail is not the name of a biological classification, but generally refers to all terrestrial species of the class Gastropoda. Generally, Western languages do not distinguish between aquatic snails and terrestrial snails. In Chinese, snails only refer to terrestrial species, while snails in a broad sense also include giant shield slugs. Snails are an animal that includes many different families and genera. They feed on plants and lay eggs in the soil or on trees. They are more common on tropical islands, but some also live in cold regions. Arboreal species are brightly colored, while terrestrial species are usually several similar colors, usually with stripes. The largest species are the crystal snails in Africa, most of which are over 20 cm. Several species of the European giant snail genus are often used as delicacies, especially in France. Snails are the most common molluscs on land, and they have high edible and medicinal value. Snails have high edible and medicinal value. They are rich in nutrition, delicious, high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol, and rich in more than 20 kinds of amino acids. Snails are terrestrial molluscs of the gastropod class, and there are many species all over the world. According to relevant records, there are 40,000 species of snails around the world. Snails are distributed in all provinces and regions of my country, living in forests, shrubs, orchards, vegetable gardens, farmlands, parks, gardens, temples, mountains, plains, hills and other places. However, there are very few species that are worth raising and eating. As a high-protein, low-fat, high-quality food and animal protein feed for humans, snails are increasingly valued by people. 9. How to raise gray snails?Hello, the gray snail is also a very strong snail, and it does not require too many complicated techniques. Prepare some soil and wet the soil to let the snail live. It is best to change the soil every 15 days. Snails like humid environments, but are afraid of water. They have a wide range of food sources and can be fed with most plants, but it is best to feed them plants that we usually eat without irritation. I hope my answer can help you, and I wish you a happy life~ 10. What are the methods and management of raising snails in the East?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. |
