CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What soil should be placed for snails (What soil is best for 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. 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. What are the requirements for the soil quality of snail breeding?

I think it is right that snails like to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment. They hide during the day and come out at night. They like to drill into loose humus soil to live, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients. It can also be regarded as living in the soil.

4. What kind of environment do snails grow in?

Snail's life habits

1. It likes dark, moist and hidden environment, hides during the day and comes out at night, and is very sensitive to strong light stimulation.

2. They like to burrow into loose humus soil to live, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients, which can last up to 12 hours.

3. Omnivorous and picky eaters coexist.

4. They like humidity and are afraid of flooding. On humid nights, if you put wet food in the environment, the snails will have a more active appetite. However, flooding can suffocate the snails.

5. Self-eating. As soon as the baby snails are hatched, they will crawl and eat without the care of their mother. When they are attacked by enemies, their heads and feet will retract into the shell and secrete mucus to seal the shell opening; when the shell is damaged, they can secrete certain substances to repair the body and shell.

6. They have great tolerance. Snails have amazing survival abilities and are very tolerant of cold, heat, hunger, and drought.

7. Prefers constant temperature breeding. The temperature is constant between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius, and the growth, development and reproduction are vigorous.

Snails are terrestrial molluscs belonging to the class Gastropoda. There are many species of snails all over the world. According to relevant data, there are 40,000 species of snails all over the world. Snails are distributed in all provinces and regions of my country, living in forests, shrubs, orchards, vegetable gardens, farmlands, houses, 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.

1. Appearance characteristics

The snail's entire body includes the shell, head, neck, shell membrane, foot, internal organs, capsule and other parts. It has a spiral shell on its back. Its shapes are various and of different sizes, including pagoda, gyro, cone, sphere, pipe, etc. At present, the white jade snail, the big snail with a cover, the big snail, the bright big snail, the brown cloud agate snail and other snails cultivated in China all have their own unique appearance.

2. Living habits

White jade snails like to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment. They hide during the day and come out at night. They are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable environment is: temperature 16-30℃ (23-30℃, the fastest growth and development); air humidity 60%-90%; breeding soil humidity about 40%; pH 5-7. When the temperature is below 15℃ and above 33℃, they will hibernate. When the temperature is below 5℃ or above 40℃, they may be frozen to death or heat to death.

3. Snails’ eating habits

Snails have a very wide range of foraging food, and their staple foods include various vegetables, weeds, and melon and fruit peels; leaves, stems, buds, flowers, and juicy fruits of crops; and all kinds of green grass and green plant feed, succulent feed, bran feed, and cake feed.

4. The practical value of snails

Snails are known as "soft gold" internationally. They are tender, delicious and nutritious. According to measurements, every 500 grams of snail meat contains 90 grams of protein and a variety of nutrients needed by the human body, such as amino acids, vitamins, calcium, iron, copper, phosphorus, etc. Snails are cold in nature and salty in taste. They have the functions of clearing heat, reducing swelling, detoxifying, diuretic, relieving asthma, and softening hard masses. They have certain effects on diabetes, cough, pharyngitis, mumps, lymph tuberculosis, sores, hemorrhoids, and other diseases, so they are praised by gourmets as delicious delicacies and health products.

5. Can I put stones directly into the water when raising snails?

Can

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.

6. What kind of container should snails be kept in?

Snails can be kept in glass containers for easy observation.

Snail, a gastropod of the phylum Mollusca, is the most common mollusk on land and has high edible and medicinal value.

Snails have shells that are shaped like small snails and have various colors. They have four tentacles on their heads. When they walk, they stick their heads out. When they are frightened, they retract their heads and tails into their shells. They feed on plants and lay eggs in the soil or on trees. They like to live in dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environments. They hide during the day and come out at night. They are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. They are widely distributed all over the world.

7. Is it okay to grow flowers with snail shells in the soil?

Can.

1. Before planting flowers, it is best to pour out the soil in the pot, break up the soil and place it in the sun for three days. Turn the soil over frequently while sunbathing. This will more effectively utilize ultraviolet rays and strong light to kill insect eggs and viral pathogens in the pot soil, thereby reducing the occurrence of diseases and pests in planted flowers.

2. It is best to mix some nutrient soil when planting to increase the nutrients in the potting soil. This is because the potting soil after planting onions is absorbed by the onions in large quantities, resulting in a lack of nutrients in the pot. Adding some nutrient soil is beneficial to the normal growth of the flowers after planting. When planting, bury a small amount of farmyard manure or long-acting base fertilizer bought from the flower shop at the bottom of the pot, mainly to supplement the lack of nutrients in the pot.

8. What vegetable leaves do snails eat?

Snail farming is relatively easy compared to traditional farming (of course, it is another matter if the scale is large). There are many types of snails. Here we take the most common white jade snail as an example: the temperature requirement for young snails is between 27 and 30 degrees. The air humidity is controlled at around 90. It can be high but not low. For growing cattle, that is, after one month of age, the temperature should be controlled at around 26 degrees, and the temperature difference between morning and evening should be controlled within 5 degrees. Snails mainly eat leaves, rhizomes and the like of plants. Such as cabbage leaves, green vegetables, lettuce, radish leaves, cabbage. Beans. Mulberry leaves and even some weeds. Except for plants with pungent smells such as onions, ginger and garlic, they will not eat them. Add some cornmeal, wheat bran, rice bran, soybean meal, bone meal, eggshell powder, yeast powder in appropriate proportions, and snails will grow faster. The soil for raising snails requires garden soil rich in humus soil without pesticide and fertilizer residues. Just add fine sand in a ratio of two to one. Expose to the sun for three to five days for sterilization before use. The humidity of the breeding soil is required to be around 40. The soil should be in a ball shape when held in the hand and fall apart when touched. Change the soil every 20 to 30 days.

9. How to keep snails in the soil?

Flowers grown at home are generally potted. If the soil in the flowerpot is not handled carefully, it may contain insect eggs. Therefore, the soil should be dried and screened before being placed in the flowerpot. If conditions permit, it can be steamed at high temperature.

2. If there is no problem with the flower soil, then you need to consider the location and environment of the flower pot. If the environment is humid and hot, the air flow is poor, and it is often placed after rain, it is easy to attract snails. So the location of the flower pot should also be carefully selected.

3. If snails appear in the flower pot, you can catch them. But for your own health, it is best not to catch them with bare hands. You can use tweezers to pick up the snails and put them in a plastic bag or bottle to take away. Remember to wash your hands afterwards.

10. 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.
