CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What to use to breed snails (What is the best way to breed snails)

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. What kind of cage should be used to keep snails?

Generally, boxes are used for breeding. When choosing a box, you must choose a box with good light transmittance, because this will make it easier for us to better observe the growth of the snails. The specific size of the box should also be determined according to the number and size of the snails. Try to choose some larger boxes so that the snails have more space to move around. At the same time, leave a few small holes to keep the box ventilated. After choosing the box, we must spread some soil at the bottom of them. The soil must be fertile and soft.

3. 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.

4. How to breed snails?

1About breeding equipment

For pet snails, in order to have a better viewing effect, we often use some transparent utensils, such as plastic and glass. The size of the utensils should not be too large, because the activity range of snails is not large, and a small fish tank of more than ten centimeters is best.

2 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.

3. 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.

4 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.

5. About Temperature

The most suitable breeding temperature is between 16 and 30 degrees. Dear, you must control the temperature well.

5. Snail breeding technology?

1. Open-air farming method

The open-air breeding method can be used for breeding in farmland. After plowing, the soil should be finely ground, and broad-leaved trees should be planted around the field to provide shade. Nets should be used around to prevent snails from escaping. The roof of a flat-roofed house can also be used for breeding. Loose soil with a thickness of more than 10 cm is placed on the roof, and a few grapes are planted around and a trellis is built to provide shade. Nets are also used around. The advantages of the open-air breeding method are fresh air and good humidity, fast growth of snails, and mild disease. It should be noted that water should be sprinkled in time during drought to keep the soil moist; drainage should be carried out in time when there is a lot of rain; natural enemies and livestock and poultry should be prevented from invading, and those who have big cats at home should pay more attention.

2. Plastic greenhouse farming method

Choose an open space of 30 meters long and 6 meters wide, plow it first, build a 30-centimeter-high wall around it, build a plastic greenhouse, open the front and back doors, and level the plowed soil in the greenhouse before breeding. The advantage of the plastic greenhouse breeding method is that it is easy to adjust the temperature and prevent natural enemies. However, it should be noted that in the hot season, sunshade facilities should be added to keep the soil moist and the air properly convective.

3. Indoor farming method

Indoor breeding methods can be divided into two types: flat breeding and three-dimensional breeding.

(1) Flat surface farming

In the room, bricks are used to build squares about 25 cm high and 2 to 3 square meters in size, and the squares are padded with pine wood more than 10 cm thick.

(2) Three-dimensional breeding

First, make a wooden box (the box is about 25 cm high, the length depends on the needs) and a shelf, pad the box with loose soil more than 10 cm thick, and then put the box layer by layer on the shelf. This breeding method is simple and easy, with low investment and safety. It should be noted that: open the doors and windows for ventilation every day; adjust the temperature and soil humidity; keep the soil clean and the indoor hygiene; cover the box with a breathable net to prevent the snails from escaping.

6. Is it necessary to use a plastic greenhouse to raise snails?

1. The snail breeding site can be planned and designed according to the scale of breeding. Large-scale breeding can adopt indoor breeding, field breeding, shed breeding, soil ditch breeding and other methods, while small-scale breeding can adopt tank breeding, wooden box breeding, courtyard breeding, balcony breeding and other methods.

Regardless of the breeding method, the breeding site must be set up and planned according to the characteristics of the snails, but the snails must be kept in a quiet, dark, humid, warm and vibration-free environment.

2. You can use farmland to breed snails. First, plow the soil and then fine it. Plant some broad-leaved trees around the farmland to provide shade. Be sure to use nets around it to effectively prevent snails from escaping. You can also use the roof of a flat-roofed house for breeding. Put a layer of loose soil more than 10 cm thick on the roof, and plant a few grapes around it to build a trellis for shade. Use nets around it. The advantages of open-air breeding are fresh air, good humidity, fast growth of snails, and mild disease. But be careful. When the weather is dry, you must sprinkle water in time to keep the soil moist.

3. You can also choose to breed snails in plastic greenhouses. First, choose an open space of 30 meters long and 6 meters wide, plow the soil once, build a 30cm high wall around it, and then build a plastic greenhouse. After the greenhouse is built, level the plowed soil in the greenhouse and you can breed. The advantage of breeding in plastic greenhouses is that it is easy to adjust the temperature and prevent natural enemies, but you should pay attention to adding sunshade facilities in the hot season to keep the soil moist and the air properly convective.

2. What soil should be used for breeding snails?

1. To breed snails, you must use moist, loose, humus-rich soil, and in order to prevent the soil from hardening, you should replace it about once every six months or a year. At the same time, the soil humidity should be kept at 15%-18%, and must not exceed 21%. You can also mix farmland soil, sandy soil, yellow sand, cinder ash, and stone powder in a ratio of 3:2:1:5:0.5 to make breeding soil, then expose it to the sun for a few days for disinfection, and finally add appropriate amount of water to make the soil humidity reach 40%.

2. Snails prefer 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 caves during the day and come out to look for food at night. Snails will live in the soil, lay eggs, regulate body humidity and absorb some nutrients. The suitable growth temperature is 23-30°C. When the temperature is below 15°C, they will enter hibernation.

3. Snails have a particularly strong ability to survive and have a strong tolerance to cold, heat, hunger and drought. They have a wide range of diets, including all kinds of vegetables, weeds, melon and fruit peels, crop stems and leaves, flowers, juicy fruits, etc. You can feed them tender leaves, weeds, melon and fruit peels, crop stems and leaves, various green grass and highland barley feeds, etc., and feed them three times a day.

7. Snail aquaculture technology?

When raising snails, use rice bran, semolina, wheat flour, potato flour, and calcium powder to prepare concentrated feed, then put the feed in the breeding grounds every evening for the snails to eat. Note that you must spray water on the feed before feeding, and then place it in the breeding grounds to attract snails to forage.

When breeding snails, you should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene to avoid a too messy environment that breeds bacteria and affects the growth of snails. It is best to clean it every 2-3 days to remove snail feces and food residues, and then use clean water to clean the breeding box to allow the snails to grow healthily.

8. What are the methods of breeding snails?

Breeding methods. (1) Wooden box breeding: Use 1 cm thick wood to make a 40 cm x 50 cm x 15 cm wooden box, and cover the lid with glass to prevent the snails from escaping. Wooden box breeding is more common in northern my country. (2) Net cage breeding: Net cage breeding is to enlarge the wooden box, generally with a length of 4.

The cage should be 5 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, with several partitions in the middle to increase the activity area of ​​the snails and prevent them from crowding together. The two sides of the cage can be made of wood, bricks, and plastic cloth, 26-30 cm high, and covered with plastic mesh to prevent the snails from escaping.

Cage breeding is low-cost, easy to operate, well ventilated, and provides a large surface for snails to move around. They grow faster than in wooden boxes or plastic pots. Cage breeding is common in northern my country. (3) Basement breeding: Build multiple layers of cement slabs in the basement, leaving a door-shaped passage in the middle for easy operation. The slabs are 100 cm long and 50 cm wide, with each layer 40-50 cm apart, and bricks are used at both ends of the slabs.

The basement is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature and humidity are easy to control, but ventilation must be maintained, the air must be fresh, and a certain amount of light must be provided. (4) Greenhouse breeding: Choose a sunny place that is sheltered from the wind, plow and harrow the ground 25 meters long and 6 meters wide 2-3 times, make the soil fine and level the ground, leave a 50-centimeter passage in the middle for easy management, and then build a trench around it or make a "T"-shaped greenhouse.

This greenhouse can raise 200,000 two-month-old young snails on the ground.
