1. What are the ten taboos of raising snails?Taboo 1: Avoid feed rotting and deterioration Taboo 2: Pay attention to the reasonable combination of feed Taboo 3: Avoid large temperature differences in breeding Taboo four: prevent snails from being attacked by natural enemies. 2. Please advise: What are some things to pay attention to when raising 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. 3. How to raise snails?Open-air farming The open-air breeding method can be used in farmland. After plowing, the soil should be finely ground, broad-leaved trees should be planted around the field to provide shade, and nets should be used around to prevent snails from escaping. It is also possible to use the roof of a flat-roofed house for breeding. Loose soil with a thickness of more than 10 cm should be placed on the roof, and a few grapes should be planted around it and a trellis should be built to provide shade, and nets should also be used around it. The advantages of open-air breeding are fresh air and good humidity, fast growth of snails and low disease risk. It should be noted that water should be sprinkled in time to keep the soil moist during droughts and drain water in time when there is a lot of rain. Prevent natural enemies and livestock from invading, especially those who have big cats at home. 4. How to raise snails?About Food Pet snails are different from commercial snails, so we don't need to buy professional feed to raise them. We can just feed them some fruits and vegetable leaves. For example, cabbage leaves are a good choice. Generally, when feeding, just rinse the leaves clean. About humidity When you prepare the equipment for breeding, lay a layer of gauze on the bottom, which is the same as the one on the window. Then use a spray bottle to humidify it every day to prevent it from getting sick. Do not add water to the bottom of the container, as it is easy to breed bacteria and cause the snail to get sick. About Lighting Snails don't like strong light. They like warm, humid and shaded places. So when breeding them, be careful not to expose them to strong light, otherwise they will die. About temperature The most suitable breeding temperature is between 16 and 30 degrees. Dear, you must control the temperature well. 5. What should you pay attention to when raising snails?1. Pay attention to the feeding method. Snails are nocturnal animals that live during the day. It is best to feed them in the evening, especially in summer. The moisture in some vegetables, wild vegetables, fruit peels and plant leaves is easy to evaporate. If the feed is stored for too long, it will easily rot and deteriorate. Feeding in the evening can shorten the storage time and ensure the freshness of the feed. Feeding concentrated feed such as rice bran and sweet potato powder can be put into the feeding trough or food tray together with water for them to eat. 2. Pay attention to the feed mix. The green fodder and concentrated feed should be reasonably matched. Pay attention to the supplementation and supply of calcium, phosphorus and vitamins. Refer to the feed formula: 70% rice bran, 10% semolina, 10% wheat flour, 5% broad bean flour, 5% potato flour, add appropriate amount of calcium powder. Before feeding, spray clean water to lure snails to forage. 3. Pay attention to the appropriate temperature and humidity. Temperature and humidity are one of the keys to the success or failure of artificial snail breeding. The temperature for breeding snails should be controlled at 25-30℃, and the optimal growth temperature is around 25℃. In the winter and early spring, it is necessary to prevent sudden cooling to avoid the death of snails. During the breeding period, it is best to spray water once in the morning and evening every day. Do not spray water directly on the snail's body, let alone soak it in cold water. In order to maintain a certain humidity in the breeding environment, the relative humidity of the breeding box and soil cannot be lower than 30% or greater than 50%. 4. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. Snails and earthworms can be mixed. The fruits, plant stems and leaves left by snails should be removed in time. The remaining rice bran, bran flour, etc. can be left on the soil surface for earthworms to eat. This can not only avoid feed waste, but also prevent the remaining feed residue from rotting and moldy, which will pollute the environment and affect the growth of snails. For simple box breeding, snail feces and feed residues should generally be removed every 2 to 3 days. Then wash the box with clean water. 5. Pay attention to prevent pesticide poisoning. Green fodder such as vegetable leaves, fruits and vegetables should be cleaned before feeding. Green fodder contaminated or with pesticide residues must be soaked and washed before feeding to prevent snails from poisoning and death or pesticide residues in their bodies that affect their edible value. 6. Pay attention to escape prevention and natural enemy attack. In open outdoor breeding, pay attention to the escape of snails and natural enemy attack at any time. If electric fences are used to prevent escape, the power supply should be checked regularly and the escape prevention facilities should be inspected and repaired. Before breeding, the site and breeding utensils should be cleaned and disinfected to kill various mites, parasite eggs and pathogens. 7. Pay attention to overwintering seed preservation Overwintering seed preservation is an important part of snail farming. In areas with large temperature differences between day and night, especially in late autumn, early winter or early spring when the climate is changeable, insulation and anti-freezing measures should be taken in time. If the place does not have the conditions for overwintering, you can stop spraying water before overwintering, make the breeding site dry, and let the snails hide in the soil to hibernate, but the indoor temperature must not be lower than 10℃. Snails in a dormant state can survive for at least half a year without dying, but before dormancy, you should increase the supply of nutrients and fatten them to facilitate a smooth overwintering. 8. Pay attention to keeping feeding records. Feeding records should be kept during feeding. Regularly observe and record the snail's eating habits, food intake, growth, mating, egg-laying, hatching, indoor temperature and humidity, as well as soil temperature, humidity, pH value, etc., so as to summarize the feeding experience in time, check for existing problems, and improve feeding management at any time. 6. What are the taboos about keeping a snail as a pet?When raising snails as pets, it is best to use transparent utensils to increase the ornamental value. When feeding them, you can directly feed them chopped cabbage. Be sure to clean them before feeding to prevent pesticide residues. It doesn't like light, so when breeding, don't let it be exposed to strong sunlight. Snails also need careful care. 7. How to raise snails?The most common method is outdoor breeding. The whole piece of land is leveled and surrounded by some broad-leaved trees, which can effectively block the sun. In order to prevent them from escaping, it is recommended to surround them. Indoor breeding method. This method is mainly divided into two types: plane breeding and three-dimensional breeding. If you adopt plane breeding, you need to build a 25 cm high and 2 to 3 square meters square grid with bricks indoors. Some soil also needs to be put in the square. After all, snails are animals that survive in the soil. Of course, they are also suitable for outdoor breeding. The soil needs to be kept moist. More importantly, the indoor humidity must be controlled. At the same time, if the indoor temperature is relatively high, attention should be paid to ventilation. The three-dimensional breeding method may be relatively simple. Just make a wooden box with a height of about 20 cm, and then put a layer of loose soil ten centimeters thick in the box, and pay attention to placing the boxes layer by layer on the shelf. This breeding method is relatively simpler and requires less investment. More importantly, this breeding method is safer. However, everyone must pay attention to the fact that when the weather is hot, you must open the windows for ventilation, adjust the overall temperature and soil humidity, and ensure the hygiene of the soil. |
