CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can snails use soil for growing flowers? (Can snails use soil for growing flowers? How to grow them?)

1. What are the methods and techniques for breeding land snails?

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.

2. Can white jade snails be raised in coconut bricks?

Coconut bricks are not good. It is best to use humus soil, followed by pure soil, and feed fine eggshell powder every day.

Feeding soil is an essential material for breeding snails. Feeding soil should be rich in humus, loose in texture, and pesticide-free. You can choose sandy garden soil that is relatively rich in humus and loose. Be careful not to use garden soil with ant activity or that has just been fertilized with fertilizers and pesticides as feeding soil. The feeding soil to be used is best exposed to the sun and treated with insecticides and sterilization.

3. What to do if there is no coconut soil for the white jade snail?

Ordinary garden soil can also be used, but do not fertilize it. If you use it, expose it to the sun for three days or bake it in a microwave oven to sterilize it.

4. I bought two snails and keep them in pots. How do I keep them in soil?

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

5. What kind of soil do wild snails need?

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

6. How often should the sand and soil of the white jade snail be changed?

30 days.

Before breeding white jade snails, you need to provide them with loose, fertile, and well-drained soil. You can mix leaf mold, peat soil, sandy soil, etc. to prepare the soil, and expose the soil to the sun for three to four days to disinfect and sterilize it, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of white jade snails.

The white jade snail is an omnivorous animal that mainly feeds on various vegetable leaves. Therefore, during the breeding process, you can feed it vegetable leaves, rotten fruits, white beans and other foods every day or every other day, and change the type of food once a week to avoid a single food that causes poor growth of the white jade snail.

7. 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.
