1. How to keep snails at home after they give birth?

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.

2. I bought two snails and keep them in a pot. How do I keep them in soil?

White jade snails are easy to raise, and they can be grown with or without soil.

3. Methods and techniques for land snail breeding?

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.

4. Can I raise snails with just sand?

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.

5. Can snails be raised without soil?

Yes. Snails can be raised without soil, but it is recommended to raise them with soil. Soil helps to keep the environment moist and promote the healthy growth of snails. It is best to spread some sterilized soil in the container before feeding snails, spray water regularly, and replace new soil every one or two months to maintain soil moisture.

However, snails like cool and humid places. Without soil, moisture is easily lost, so it is best to raise snails with soil. Humidity is very important, especially for small snails.

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.
