How to raise snails at home

Snails are very interesting pets and are easier to take care of. So how do you raise snails at home?

First, how to raise snails at home

1. Prepare a small box and poke several holes in the lid of the small box.

2. Find some sand, spray water on it and put it in a box. Snails like the wet environment.

3. Choose healthy food for snails and feed snails with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Fresh raw food is the best food for snails because it contains the most nutrients and is easy to digest. Apples, eggplant, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes and lettuce are cheap and convenient choices, and any fruit or vegetable is fine. Provide the snail with a variety of fruits and vegetables to ensure that it gets a wide range of nutrients. Feed snails organic food because snails are sensitive to pesticides.

4. Snails stop eating when they are full. When you notice that the snail has eaten all the food, just give it some more fruits and vegetables. As time goes by, you will know how much snails eat and be able to plan food supply accordingly.

5. The snail will drink water on the plate and take a bath in it to keep the snail shell wet. The water in the plate is less than 1 centimeter deep to prevent snails from falling in. Choose a heavier plate so that the snail won't turn it over.

6. In order to help snail shells grow and repair, snails need calcium. Snails absorb calcium through their food when they climb on top of shell powder. The conch shell is placed next to the snail food to attract them to climb up. Conch shells can be bought from pet stores.
