CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What soil is best for snails? (What soil is best for snails?)

1. Can I use ordinary soil to raise gray-tipped snails?

Ordinary soil can be used. Ordinary soil contains many humus-rich fungi, which snails need very much. Snails like to live in dark and humid environments with overgrown weeds, lush crops, soft soil, and more humus. They hide during the day and move at night. Sometimes they come out to feed during the day on rainy days. When raising snails, we usually choose a transparent, breathable special box for the snails to use as a nest. We choose a transparent box because it is convenient to observe the condition of the snails in the box, and the box also needs to be breathable and have gaps to allow air circulation inside the box.

2. Artificial snail breeding site?

1. The breeding site of snails can be planned and designed according to the scale of breeding. Large-scale breeding can adopt indoor breeding, field breeding, shed breeding, soil ditch breeding and other methods, while small-scale breeding can adopt tank breeding, wooden box breeding, courtyard breeding, balcony breeding and other methods. Regardless of which breeding method is used, the breeding site must be set up and planned according to the characteristics of snails, but the snails must be placed in a quiet, dark, humid, warm and vibration-free environment.

2. You can use farmland to breed snails. First, plow the soil and then fine it. Plant some broad-leaved trees around the farmland to provide shade. Be sure to use nets around it to effectively prevent snails from escaping. You can also use the roof of a flat-roofed house for breeding. Put a layer of loose soil more than 10 cm thick on the roof, and plant a few grapes around it to build a trellis for shade. Use nets around it. The advantages of open-air breeding are fresh air, good humidity, fast growth of snails, and mild disease. But be careful. When the weather is dry, you must sprinkle water in time to keep the soil moist.

3. You can also choose to breed snails in plastic greenhouses. First, choose an open space of 30 meters long and 6 meters wide, plow the soil once, build a 30cm high wall around it, and then build a plastic greenhouse. After the greenhouse is built, level the plowed soil in the greenhouse and you can breed. The advantage of breeding in plastic greenhouses is that it is easy to adjust the temperature and prevent natural enemies, but you should pay attention to adding sunshade facilities in the hot season to keep the soil moist and the air properly convective.

2. What soil should be used for breeding snails?

1. To breed snails, you must use moist, loose, humus-rich soil, and in order to prevent the soil from hardening, you should replace it about once every six months or a year. At the same time, the soil humidity should be kept at 15%-18%, and must not exceed 21%. 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 a few days for disinfection, and finally add appropriate amount of water to make the soil humidity reach 40%.

2. Snails prefer 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 caves during the day and come out to look for food at night. Snails will live in the soil, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients. The suitable growth temperature is 23-30°C. When the temperature is below 15°C, they will enter hibernation.

3. Snails have a particularly strong ability to survive and have a strong tolerance to cold, heat, hunger and drought. They have a wide range of diets, including all kinds of vegetables, weeds, melon and fruit peels, crop stems and leaves, flowers, juicy fruits, etc. You can feed them tender leaves, weeds, melon and fruit peels, crop stems and leaves, various green grass and highland barley feeds, etc., and feed them three times a day.

3. What are the requirements of snails for the soil environment?

Earthworms generally live in (moist), (soft) and other soils. Like snails, they like (moist) (dark) environments.

4. How to raise snails?

To raise snails, you need to provide a dark and humid place. You can first prepare a container, fill it with sand, cover it with paper towels, spray water on it to maintain good humidity, then put the snails in, and move the container to a cool place away from light.

Feed the snails regularly. You can put some washed vegetable leaves, fruits, feed, etc. You also need to supplement them with calcium supplements such as bone meal and feed them regularly.

5. Can I use the soil in the yard to raise white jade snails?

No, it needs soil high in organic matter.

6. What do snails eat to make their shells grow faster?

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 give the snail a place to live. 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, but it is best to feed them plants that we usually eat without irritation.

I hope my answer can help you and wish you a happy life~

7. Can I only put sand when raising snails?

Instead of putting sand, put soil in the box. Spread a layer of sterilized breeding soil in the box. This soil can be some soil dug from the vegetable field. Spread the soil on the bottom of the box. Don't spread too much. The height is about one-fourth of the box. Because snails like to live in a humid environment, the breeding soil must be kept moist and not too dry. Therefore, you can spray some water on the soil according to the dryness of the soil.

8. How to choose and process the soil for snail breeding?

Except for clay that is easy to clump, other sandy soil, loam and loose garden soil can be used as breeding soil. The ratio of soil to sand in the soil is 1:3. In order to remove harmful bacteria and pollution from pesticides and fertilizers in the soil, two methods can be used for disinfection. One is to filter the soil with a sieve to remove large particles of soil and stones, and put it in a large iron pot for high-temperature stir-frying; the other method is to break the soil after it has been exposed to the sun, put it layer by layer in a bucket, scald it with boiling water, cover it and let it sit overnight, then dry it, crush it and sieve it.

When these soils are placed in a box for use, they should be sprayed with water to maintain a humidity of 30% to 40%. They can be kneaded into a ball by hand and will fall apart when touched.
