2. Can white jade snails be kept in a cardboard box?

Can

But there must be water and food for the snails in the box.

Raising snails in a terrarium is one of the most common methods of breeding.

The breeding box can be made of waste wood, old packaging boxes, non-toxic plastic boards, bamboo, wicker, etc. However, it cannot be made of materials containing aromatic substances, tannins and resin liquids, or materials with abnormal odors, nor can it be made of materials contaminated by lead paint, asphalt, pesticides, fertilizers, radioactivity, etc. The size and material of the breeding box can be determined according to the breeding conditions. The specifications of the general breeding box are: 1-1.5 cm thick wooden boards can be made into wooden boxes with a length of 60 cm, a width of 40 cm, and a height of 35 cm, or a length of 75 cm, a width of 45 cm, and a height of 35 cm. Ready-made wooden boxes of different specifications can also be used, but the height of the wooden box should not exceed 35 cm. If it is too high, the snail will fall from the top or wall of the box and easily break its shell, which will affect its growth in the light case and cause death in the heavy case.

The box cover can be covered with plastic or wire screen to prevent the snails from escaping and facilitate observation. The bottom area of ​​the breeding box should not exceed 1 square meter to facilitate movement and management. When the breeding specifications are large, the breeding boxes can be placed on the rack and overlapped to make full use of the space and form a three-dimensional breeding.

How to breed snails

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.
