CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What is the best way to breed snails?

1. How do snails reproduce?

Snails are hermaphrodites, but they are cross-fertilized. When snails meet, they touch each other with their tentacles and then insert them into each other's reproductive holes. Mating usually takes 2 to 3 hours. After mating, snails lay eggs outside the body. The eggs slowly breed in some soil or fallen leaves and finally break out of the shell.

2. When and how do snails lay eggs?

1. Snails can usually reproduce all year round, generally once every three months.

2. After the snails reproduce, generally about 10 days, they will lay eggs, and then enter the hatching stage. You can first prepare a clean water tank and spread a 3-5cm thick layer of hatching soil on the bottom of the water tank. The hatching soil is generally made of garden soil and sand, and the ratio is generally 2:1.

3. Then place the eggs on the surface of the incubation soil and cover them with a layer of gauze. You need to observe the temperature in the tank and the temperature of the incubation soil every day, and sprinkle an appropriate amount of water on the gauze according to the specific situation. It should not be too wet. If the incubation conditions are suitable, the small snails can generally be hatched after about 7-10 days.

3. How do snails reproduce?

Snails are hermaphrodites and cross-fertilize. After mating, the snails burrow into the soil and lay hundreds of mung bean-sized, light yellow eggs. A few days later, the little snails break out of their shells, which have very thin, transparent shells.

This is what the snails I raise look like. Snails are easy to raise. All you need is an aquarium with soft sand in it and keep it moist. Snails hibernate during the day and are covered with a lid at night to prevent them from running away. They mainly eat vegetables, fruits, and can be fed with elm leaves. You can try raising one.

4. Do you want to breed white jade snails at home?

White jade snails are hermaphroditic and mate with different sexes. Artificial breeding can reproduce all year round as long as the temperature and humidity are well controlled. Young snails reach sexual maturity at 6 months old, and lay eggs 10-15 days after mating and fertilization. Most of the eggs are laid in caves, on vegetable leaves or sponges in clumps. The eggs are oval, with a milky white calcareous shell, slightly larger than mung beans. Each time, about 100-200 eggs are laid, and 3-8 nests are produced annually. After the eggs are laid, they can be collected and placed in a basin or wooden box for incubation. The mucus and feces on the eggs do not need to be scrubbed. Pad the bottom of the eggs with breeding soil and cover the soil with wet cotton cloth or sponge. Evenly arrange the eggs on it, cover with wet cloth, and then seal the basin mouth with plastic film. The young snails can be hatched in 8-15 days. The temperature must be maintained at 20℃-30℃ and the humidity must be 80%-90% during incubation.

5. How do female snails reproduce?

Snail reproduction method: hermaphrodite, cross-fertilization; once hatched, the baby snail will crawl and eat, without the mother's care. When invaded by enemies, its head and feet will retract into the shell, and secrete mucus to seal the shell mouth; when the shell is damaged and disabled, it can secrete certain substances to repair the flesh and shell. It has a strong tolerance. Snails have amazing survival ability and have a strong tolerance to cold, heat, hunger and drought. They like constant temperature breeding. The temperature is constant between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius, and the growth, development and reproduction are vigorous. When the snail crawls, it will leave a line of mucus on the ground. This is a liquid secreted by its body, so there is no danger even if it walks on the edge of a knife.

The young snails can be hatched in 8-15 days. The temperature must be maintained at 20℃-30℃ and the humidity must be 80%-90% during incubation.

7. Can a snail give birth to a baby?

A single snail cannot reproduce. Snails are hermaphrodites, but they still need cross-fertilization. They have genital pores near the right side of their tentacles. When two snails meet during the breeding season, they extend a spear-like object from their genital pores and then transfer sperm to each other's genital pores.

2. Snails will start laying eggs 10-15 days after mating. After the eggs hatch, the young will reach sexual maturity and have reproductive ability after about 6 months (when their weight exceeds 40 grams).

3. Under normal circumstances, snails can reproduce 3-4 times a year, and some species can reproduce 6-7 times. When they are artificially bred, the indoor temperature can be increased in winter to wake them up from hibernation, which can increase the number of snail reproduction times.

4. Snails like to live in a damp and dark environment and are often active at night. They usually burrow into the soil to live, regulate body humidity and lay eggs. They have a mixed diet and eat a wide variety of food. When attacked, they will retract their bodies into their shells.

8. Can mini snails lay eggs?

Can lay eggs.

1. Snails lay eggs. After snails lay eggs, you just need to wait for them to hatch. Snail hatching requires three important conditions, namely, suitable temperature, suitable humidity and an insect-free and sterile environment.

2. The suitable temperature is 18℃-28℃. If the temperature is higher, the mortality rate of the snails will be high. If the temperature is slightly lower, the incubation time will be long. If the temperature is too low, the snails cannot hatch. The humidity of the water or soil should be appropriate. They can be grasped into a ball and fall apart when they fall to the ground. If the humidity is high, the eggs will rot. If the humidity is low, the eggs will dehydrate and die. The sand or soil used for hatching must be free of insects, bacteria and other microorganisms, and the temperature must be increased.

9. What can snails be fed to lay eggs the fastest?

They are mainly by-products of grain and grain and oil processing: such as wheat bran, rice bran, corn husks, flour residue, tofu residue, and detoxified cottonseed cake and rapeseed cake.

Green fodder

Including various vegetables, some broad-leaved leaves, aquatic plants and stems and leaves of some crops, such as green vegetables, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, lettuce, elm leaves, ground ivy, spiny amaranth, broad bean leaves, soybean leaves, cotton leaves, sesame leaves, pumpkin leaves, sunflower leaves, sweet potato vine leaves, water lily, etc.

10. How to make a nest for snails?

Do you want to raise snails? Whether you want to breed or not, it is best to provide appropriate soil to maintain humidity. When breeding, you can also lay eggs in the soil and control the humidity yourself. Don't make it too wet (that is, muddy).
