CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is it better to use sand or soil to raise snails?

1. What are the 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.

2. 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.

3. Can I only put sand in the ground to raise snails?

Can't.

Snails like to live in a dark and humid environment. They can be raised in boxes or pots. Moist soil can be spread on the bottom of the box or pot. The soil can be made by mixing garden soil, sand, yellow sand, coal slag ash, and stone powder in proportion. Food: Snails are omnivorous animals and can be fed with tender leaves, melon and fruit peels, and stems and leaves of crops. Temperature: Snails are suitable for growing in an environment of 25-30 degrees Celsius. They will hibernate when the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius.

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?

5. How to prepare and raise giant African snails?

To raise giant African snails, you need to prepare a dark and humid breeding box, and fill it with garden soil and river sand. It is best to disinfect it before laying the soil to prevent pathogens or insect eggs from affecting its growth.

The temperature should be controlled between 15-25℃ and the humidity should be around 70-85%. You can feed cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and juicy fruits, etc. You should clean the breeding box regularly to keep it clean so that it can grow healthily.
