What snails eat How to feed

Snails mainly feed on plants, they like to eat a variety of vegetables, fruits and plant leaves.

I. Here are some common snail foods:

1. Vegetables: Snails like to eat green leafy vegetables such as bok choy, lettuce, celery and spinach. These vegetables are rich in fiber and vitamins, which are very important for the growth and health of snails.

2. Fruits: Snails also like to eat fruits, especially soft fruits such as apples, pears and bananas. Fruits are rich in water and sugar, which is very helpful for the snail's nutritional intake and hydration.

3. Plant leaves: snails can eat the leaves of some plants such as roses, lithospermum, strawberries and so on. These leaves are rich in plant fiber and nutrients which are beneficial for the digestion and growth of snails.

4. Calcium supplement: snails need a lot of calcium to build their shells. You can add some calcium-rich foods to your snail's diet, such as eggshell powder and shell powder.

It is important to note that snails require relatively small amounts of food and should not be overfed. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and digestive problems in snails. Snails can vary in their choice of food, so you can adjust the type and proportion of food according to the species and individual differences of the snails you raise.

Two, snail breeding skills

Besides food selection, the environment of snail breeding is also very important. The following are some snail breeding tips:

1. Temperature and humidity: snails adapt to a more forgiving temperature, generally grow well between 15-25 degrees Celsius. Maintaining proper humidity is also important for snail growth, and it is generally appropriate to maintain a humidity level of 70-90%.

2. Living environment: Snails need a quiet, clean environment to live in. Clear plastic or glass containers can be used as the snail's habitat, and the bottom of the container can be covered with a layer of moist soil or paper towels to provide a suitable habitat.

3. Feeding Container: The feeding container for snails should have proper ventilation holes to maintain air circulation. The size of the container should be chosen according to the number and size of the snails to avoid overcrowding.

4. Breeding cycle: The breeding cycle of snails is usually 3-4 months, and you need to pay attention to controlling the number of reproduction to avoid over-breeding which leads to unstable breeding environment.

5. Pay attention to observation: snail farmers need to frequently observe the state of the snail, such as appetite, activity, shell health, etc. If abnormalities are found, timely measures should be taken. If abnormalities are found, timely measures should be taken, such as changing food, adjusting the environment and so on.

To summarize, snail is a kind of plant-feeding pet and likes to eat vegetables, fruits and plant leaves. When breeding snails, we need to provide suitable food and environment, maintain suitable temperature and humidity, and at the same time pay attention to observing the state of snails. Through proper breeding and care, we can enjoy spending time with these little animals***.
