CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do you need to prepare to keep snails alive? (What do you need to prepare to keep snails alive?)

1. How to keep snails at home?

1. Living environment First, find a box, preferably a breathable sealed box, and put paper towels on the bottom of the box, preferably odorless paper towels, and then spray it with water, because snails need a humid environment, otherwise they will dry out. In addition, snails do not like sunlight, and the room temperature between 25 and 30 degrees is the most suitable environment for snails.

2. Food: Snails are omnivores and like to eat vegetable leaves and fruit slices, but they cannot contain salt because they are afraid of salt. Generally speaking, you should feed snails three times a day. Before feeding, check whether the paper towel is clean. If it is dirty, you should replace it with a new wet paper towel before feeding the snail.

3. Winter management can be released from hibernation under artificial temperature and humidity control. If the breeding conditions are not met, when the temperature drops to about 15℃, insulation treatment should be carried out according to local conditions. If it is moved indoors, the breeding soil should be thickened to 25 cm and cotton wool should be used for insulation.

2. What do you need to prepare to raise snails?

To raise snails, you need to prepare a site. The site should be close to the natural environment, with good air quality, fertile soil and no pollution. The best breeding grounds are farmlands and orchards. You need to know the temperature and humidity that are suitable for snail growth. The temperature should be kept at around 25 degrees, which can promote faster growth and development. The humidity should be around 40%, not too high or too low. You should also pay attention to the lighting. You should be able to adjust the light intensity well and install a dimming setting.

3. What do you need to prepare to raise snails?

To raise snails, you need to prepare a breeding site or a transparent, odorless container, moist soil, leaves, branches, food troughs, green fodder, concentrated feed, etc. When raising snails, you need to reasonably match the food according to the growth stage, and clean up the uneaten food in time.

3. Winter management

Hibernation can be ended under artificial temperature and humidity control. If the breeding conditions are not met, when the temperature drops to around 15℃, insulation treatment should be carried out according to local conditions. If it is moved indoors, the breeding soil should be thickened to 25 cm and cotton wool should be used for insulation.

Breeding points:

1. Temperature

16～40℃, 25℃ is the best, usually it can be higher but not lower. Heating must be done with ground dragon fire channel, and it should be prepared all year round, especially in late spring and early summer, to prevent sudden temperature drop, it is best to use heating if conditions permit, and do not use stove heating.

2. Humidity

The surface humidity of the breeding soil should be maintained at 25% ~ 35%, and the relative humidity of the air should be 85% ~ 90%. It can be wet but not dry. To control humidity and retain moisture, cover the top with plastic cloth.

3. To prevent dry wind and cold air from blowing in directly, the entrance should have double doors, hanging cloth and wind shield.

4. Resolutely control the entry of odorous gases into the breeding grounds.

5. The pH of the breeding soil must be controlled at 6.5-7.5. Do not use contaminated sandy soil that has been treated with pesticides or chemicals.

6. The breeding container must have good water permeability and air permeability.

5. How do I raise the snails given by school (I am a sixth-grade student in Putuo District, Shanghai)?

Snails are easy to raise: prepare a container, about 20 cm square, to raise two white jade snails. Spread a layer of wet soil about 4.5 cm thick inside, cover the container with glass or transparent plastic plate to observe the activities of snails. Feed fresh leaves every day. Remove the rotten leaves that have not been eaten. Soon, the snails will lay eggs in the soil, and they will hatch into small snails after about 10 days. The key points of raising are: 1. Keep the soil moist, but not too wet to become a paste; 2. The leaves should be clean and fresh. Soak the leaves in clean water for two or three hours in advance to remove the pesticide residue on the leaves. 3. Don't cover it too tightly, and keep the air circulating. 4. Prevent the snails from escaping. 5. Keep the container clean and remove the residual leaves and snail excrement in time. 6. When the small snails grow up, change to a larger container in time. There are many varieties of snails, among which white jade snails are edible snails with high nutritional value. French baked snails are a famous dish. But don't try to eat ordinary wild snails to avoid poisoning.

6. How to raise snails at home?

Snail farming requires a dark and humid place. You can prepare a container first, put sand in the container, cover it with paper towels, spray water on it to maintain humidity, then put the snail in, and move the container to a dark and cool place. Feed the snails regularly, you can put washed vegetable leaves, fruits, feed, etc., and you also need to add calcium supplements such as bone meal and feed them regularly.
