1. How to raise snails?

The little snail is so cute*^o^ How to breed it:

① Preparation: A glass container that is at least three times larger than the snail's body. A thin plastic plate (transparent). Poke a few small holes (for ventilation) and cover the glass container to prevent the snail from escaping. A little water that has just touched the bottom, tap water or boiled water.

②Feeding: Some vegetable leaves, such as water spinach leaves, green vegetable leaves, you can also feed fruits such as watermelon and melon, which should be chopped

③Others: Brush the glass container of the snail frequently to remove feces and mucus. Do not place the snail in the sun, but in a cool and humid place.

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.

4. How to raise small snails?

We all like to keep some pets, because pets can bring people happiness and help their owners eliminate some loneliness. However, some people want to keep small snails, so how should snails be fed?

Step 1: First, you need to find a box, preferably a sealed box with a lid (must be breathable). If you don’t have one, you can also use an open box and cover it with a layer of net to prevent the snail from crawling away.

Step 2: Then put paper towels on the bottom of the box, preferably smell-free paper towels, and then spray them with water because snails need a humid environment, otherwise they will dry out and die.

Step 3: Generally speaking, snails should be fed three times a day. Before feeding, check whether the paper towel is clean (whether the snail has defecated). If it is dirty, replace it with a new moist paper towel before feeding the snail.

Step 4: In addition, snails do not like sunlight and must not be kept in the sun. The room temperature between 25 and 30 degrees is the most suitable environmental temperature for snails.

Step 5: You can feed the snails some vegetable leaves and fruit slices, because snails are omnivores and like to eat these things. However, they cannot contain salt, because snails are afraid of salt.

Step 6: You can also put some grass or branches in the snail box. This will create a better living environment for the snail and allow the snail to crawl around so it isn't too monotonous.

5. How to raise snails at home?

Tools/Materials: snail, box, pakchoy Method/Steps 1. Prepare an empty small box with a lid, otherwise the snail will escape!

2. Cornmeal: Add some cornmeal to the box, not too much, and spread it out evenly.

3. Ask the vegetable seller at the market for a few green cabbage leaves, put them on cornmeal, and put the snails in.

4. The ventilated cover should not be closed tightly, but should leave a gap. You can make a few holes to allow air to circulate. You will find that snails always stay in places where air can circulate freely.

5. Light-avoiding snails hate light, but they yearn for free air and the ability to crawl freely, so try to keep them in a light-avoiding place with good ventilation.

6. Clean the snail's nest regularly. There will be a lot of feces, so wipe it clean so that it can live happily. The leaves and cornmeal should also be replaced regularly.

6. What should be put in the box for raising snails?

The aquarium has two water tanks, which is suitable for raising 10 snails. Put soft sand inside to keep it moist. Snails hibernate during the day and should be covered at night to prevent them from running away.

Preparation of breeding soil: compound garden soil

30% uncontaminated garden soil, 30% sandy soil, 20% yellow sand, 15% coal ash, 5% stone powder, mix and grind, expose to the sun for 3-5 days to disinfect and kill insects, sieve, and then add water to make the humidity around 40%, that is, it can be kneaded into a ball and fall apart with a blow. The thickness of the soil in the pot is: 10cm for adult snails, 7cm for growing snails, and 3cm for young snails. Change it once every 1-2 months of feeding.

7. How to keep snails alive?

Before raising snails, you must first prepare a suitable living place for them, and also feed them reasonably according to their eating habits. During the breeding process, you must do a good job of managing temperature, humidity, hygiene, etc.

1. Feeding box

Snails can be kept in boxes made of glass, plastic or other materials. The best ones are transparent, so that it is easy to observe the snails in the box. The size of the box depends on the size of the snail. Generally speaking, it is best to choose a larger box to allow the snail to have a certain amount of space to move around. The box cannot be sealed, but must have a gap to allow air circulation inside the box.

2. Spread the breeding soil

After choosing a box for snails, you need to spread a layer of sterilized soil in the box. The soil can be some soil dug from the vegetable field and spread on the bottom of the box, with a height of about one-fourth of the box. Because snails like a humid environment, the soil must be kept moist and not too dry. Therefore, according to the dryness of the soil, spray the soil with water.

3. Feeding

Snails are omnivorous animals, and they like to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, melons, etc. In daily feeding, you can feed snails with a variety of vegetable leaves, some rotten fruits, wheat flour, white beans and other foods. You can feed snails in different ways, and you don't have to feed them a single food. But you should pay attention that snails are afraid of salt and salty foods, so you must not let snails eat salt.

4. Breeding environment

Snails are most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable temperature for snails is 16-30℃ (they grow fastest at 23-30℃), air humidity is 60-90%, soil humidity is about 40%, and pH is 5-7. They hibernate when the temperature is below 15℃ and above 33℃, and may be frozen to death or killed by heat when the temperature is below 5℃ or above 40℃. In cold weather such as winter, snails will hibernate.

5. Hygiene and cleaning

Snails like a clean environment, so you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the breeding box. Generally, you should clean it every 3 to 4 days to remove the food residues and snail feces in the box to provide the snail with a clean environment. In addition, you should also put some leaves, branches, etc. in the box for the snails to crawl and play on. But be sure to spray water on the box to keep it moist.
