CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What soil is good for snails to live in?

1. Should white jade snails use coconut soil or calcium soil?

White jade snails do not have to be raised in soil. They are easy to raise and can be raised without soil. They only need to be raised in a cool place. White jade snails mostly come out in the early morning and dusk and hide in the shade at noon. The breeder needs to prepare a shelter. It is recommended to feed snails with succulent plants and water them once a day.

2. 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.

3. How to raise Chinese garden snails?

Snails like to live in a dark and humid environment. They can be raised in boxes or pots by spreading moist soil on the bottom of the box or pot. The soil can be made by mixing garden soil, sandy soil, yellow sand, cinder ash and stone powder in proportion.

Food: Snails are omnivorous animals and can be fed with tender vegetable leaves, melon and fruit peels, stems and leaves of crops, etc.

Temperature: Snails grow best in an environment of 25-30 degrees Celsius, and will hibernate when the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius.

Environment: 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.

1. 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.

5. 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.

6. How to raise wild snails and how long can they live?

1. Breeding box: Snail breeding boxes can generally be made of glass, plastic and other materials. The best ones are transparent, so that it is convenient to observe the snails in the box.

2. Spread the breeding soil: After choosing a box for breeding snails, you need to spread a layer of sterilized breeding soil in the box. The breeding soil can be some soil dug from the vegetable field and spread on the bottom of the box, with a height of about one-fourth of the box. Because snails like a humid environment, the breeding soil must be kept moist and not too dry.

3. Feeding: Snails are omnivorous animals and like to eat all kinds of fruits, vegetables, melons and fruits. In daily feeding, you can feed snails with various vegetable leaves, some rotten fruits, wheat flour, white beans and other foods. You can feed snails with different kinds of food. Anyway, you don’t have to feed them only one kind of food.

4. Breeding environment: Snails are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable temperature is 16-30℃ (the fastest growth and development is at 23-30℃), air humidity is 60-90%, breeding soil humidity is about 40%, and pH is 5-7. When the temperature is below 15℃ and above 33℃, they will hibernate. If the temperature is below 5℃ or above 40℃, they may be frozen to death or killed by heat. In winter and other cold weather, snails will enter hibernation.

Growing environment:

Snails 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. They are both omnivorous and partial eaters. They like humidity and are afraid of flooding. On humid nights, if wet food is thrown into the environment, snails' appetite will be active. However, flooding can suffocate snails.

Self-eating. As soon as the baby snail hatches, it will crawl and eat without the mother's care. When it is attacked by enemies, its head and feet will retract into the shell and secrete mucus to seal the shell opening; when the shell is damaged, it can secrete certain substances to repair the flesh and shell. It has a strong tolerance.

Snails have amazing survival ability and are very tolerant to cold, heat, hunger and drought. They like constant temperature breeding. When the temperature is constant between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius, they grow and reproduce vigorously. When snails crawl, they will leave a line of mucus on the ground. This is a liquid secreted by their bodies. Even if they walk on the edge of a knife, there will be no danger.

7. What should the snails I picked up on the ground eat and how should I raise them?

1. Breeding environment. The breeding room should be dark and humid. Snails like darkness, not because they don't need sunlight, but because they should avoid direct sunlight. For example, they can be raised in buildings, bungalows, basements, air-raid shelters, etc.

2. Custom-made breeding boxes. Or according to the actual situation (wooden boxes are best made of odorless poplar, willow, or birch). Plastic basins, brick pools, etc. can also be used as substitutes.

3. Requirements for breeding soil. It is better to use fine river sand for breeding snails. For young snails, you can add garden soil that is rich in humus, loose and moist, but it must not contain pest eggs, and must not be contaminated by harmful substances such as fertilizers and pesticides.

4. Temperature control. When the temperature is controlled above 12 degrees, they can mate and lay eggs. 15℃~25℃ is the most suitable temperature for reproduction. When the temperature is 5 degrees below zero and above 32 degrees, they enter a dormant state. 5. Ensuring humidity is the core of management. Indoor air humidity should be controlled within the range of 70%~85%. The breeding soil is kneaded into a ball and falls apart when touched (this is a sign of 30%~40% humidity). The humidity of the breeding soil for breeding cattle can be 30%. 35%~40% is best for commercial cattle. The thickness is generally 800 meters. 6. Feeding excellent feed is the guarantee of success. Snails are omnivorous animals. Green feed: such as cabbage, lettuce, sunflower leaves, melon leaves, bean leaves, tomatoes, eggplants, etc.; juicy feed: such as various melon peels, fruit tubers, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, etc. Extended information Snail breeding precautions: 1. Keep the breeding box clean and hygienic. 2. Maintain a reasonable density to prevent crowding. 2,000 to 3,000 snails per square meter is appropriate, and the boxes should be divided in time as the snails grow. 3. Control the temperature and humidity. The temperature is generally controlled between 12℃ and 30℃, and the moisture content of the breeding soil is preferably 40%.
