Snails are omnivorous animals. Young snails are saprophagous, mainly feeding on decaying plants; adult snails generally feed on green plants, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. They especially like to eat young shoots and succulent plants, as well as various waste paper, pig manure, plant residues, etc. They will even cannibalize each other when hungry.

For indoor artificial breeding of snails, it is advisable to choose an open space with leeward wind, and 30 snails can be placed per square meter. Feed once a day and spray water 1-2 times. For indoor wooden box breeding, spread 10-15 cm thick humus soil in the box, put vegetable leaves, etc., put 20-30 snails in two boxes, and water them once every two evenings with a watering can to make the inner wall of the box moist.

Snails should be fed once every night. You can use seasonal vegetables, crops, green manure crops, weed roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits, melon peels, fruit peels, leftovers and waste paper, etc., and add some concentrated feed, protein feed and mineral feed. You can also feed snails once every two days. Snails can eat leftovers and humus.

During breeding, we should prevent damage from natural enemies such as chickens, ducks, sparrows, pigeons, and mice.

Snail breeding points:

1. To prevent dry wind and cold air from blowing in directly, the entrance should have double doors, hanging cloth and wind shield.

2. Resolutely control the entry of odorous gases into the breeding grounds.

3. The breeding container must have good water permeability and air permeability.

4. Do not use strong light when not working. Darkness is best. Use 15W red bulbs for lighting at night to stimulate egg laying.
