CATDOLL : CATDOLL: I found a little snail, how can I raise it so that it can live longer? (I found a little snail, how can I raise it so that it can live longer?)

1. I picked up a small snail in the grass. Can I keep it alive? How to keep it alive? How long does it take to grow up? Is it easy to keep? Please give me more details.

I'm happy to answer this question, I hope it can help you~

[Care of pet snails - <One> - Basics of life]

1./Cultivation vessels.

Transparent plastic boxes are best for breeding snails. The size is mainly determined by the volume of the pet snails, and they should be given enough living space (as shown in Figure 1, air holes should be left on the lid of the box).

2./Living environment.

Spread a layer of soil on the bottom of the box. It is best to plant some moss or put in a few pebbles. Try to completely imitate the snail's living environment in the wild. Spray the box with a spray bottle every day to keep it moist (as shown in Figure ②).

3./Snail recipe.

Pet snails are different from commercial snails. You don't need to buy special feed. You can feed them clean fruits and vegetables. Snails like to eat tender cabbage and tender cucumber hearts the most. These two foods are essential. Never feed snails salty foods, nor spicy foods such as leeks, peppers, onions, garlic, ginger, etc.

4./Special tips.

Snails are afraid of salt and prefer cool, humid and low-light places. Do not place them directly in the sun. Snails like moisture but are afraid of water. Do not soak them in water.

2. How to take care of the small snails you picked up?

The wild snails you pick up need to be kept in a moist, cool place, with a temperature of 16-30 degrees and a humidity of 60%. They should be fed with vegetables and fruits on a daily basis, and kept away from the sun and salt. Snails are prone to death when exposed to salt and sunlight. They can be kept in a transparent, sealed, breathable glass container, with some sterilized soil spread on the bottom of the container, and the soil should be sprayed with water regularly using a spray bottle.

You can feed wild snails vegetable leaves, fruit pulp and peels, such as cabbage and watermelon peels. Just rinse the leaves and peels before feeding. Note that snails cannot touch salt, and salty foods cannot be used for feeding. The body of a snail is made of water. Once it encounters salt, it will quickly dehydrate and die.

3. How to keep snails alive longer?

1. Temperature: The cultivation temperature should be controlled between 16 and 40°C;

2. Soil: The breeding soil should be moist and fluffy humus soil;

3. Light: Snails are shade-loving animals and do not need sunlight. During the breeding season, you can give snails some scattered light to stimulate egg laying.

4. Humidity: The relative humidity of the air in the breeding environment should be between 80% and 90%;

5. Feeding: Feed the snail one to two pieces of vegetable leaves every day.

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

When you buy vegetables, try to choose fresher green vegetables, such as pakchoi, Shanghai greens, etc. The tenderer the better. Wash these vegetables clean and it is best to soak them first, because these vegetables are sprayed with a lot of pesticides. Then shake off the water a little, but don't rub them too dry, as snails like a slightly humid environment. Then put the green vegetables in a small basin, preferably with a lid (to prevent it from escaping), but with air holes, otherwise the snail will be suffocated. Then put the snail on the vegetables. If the vegetables are not fresh, you can change them. Don't put too much, as it can't eat much. This way you can give it a warm home!
