Among the many breeding projects, there is a small creature that has attracted our attention - the white jade snail. This is an edible snail with the characteristics of high protein and low fat, which is ideal for modern people in pursuit of a healthy diet. Not only that, the white jade snail is also a small animal that is easy to breed, as long as you prepare a suitable feeding environment and feed, and pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases, you can easily get started.
First of all, we need to prepare a terrarium suitable for the life of white jade snails. You can choose plastic boxes, wooden boxes and other containers as terrariums, and spread a layer of 2-3 cm thick moist soil or perlite as a substrate at the bottom to keep the humidity between 70%-85%. Such an environment is not only conducive to the growth of white jade snails, but also convenient for us to observe and manage.
Secondly, we need to provide abundant food for the white jade snails. The food of white jade snails includes vegetables, fruits, beans, wheat bran, fish meal, etc., and the feed can be selected according to the season and actual situation. Feed once a day in the morning and evening to avoid overdoing it, so as not to cause waste or affect the digestion of the white jade snail.
Again, we need to control the temperature and humidity. The suitable growth temperature of white jade snail is 20-30 and the humidity is 70%-85%. A thermohygrometer can be used to monitor environmental conditions and adjust temperature and humidity if necessary. Temperatures that are too high or too low can affect the growth and reproduction of white jade snails.
In addition, we need to clean the terrarium regularly. Clean the terrarium at least once a week to remove leftover food and excrement and maintain environmental hygiene. This not only prevents the occurrence of diseases, but also allows the white jade snail to live in a clean and comfortable environment.
Finally, we need to do a good job of pest and disease control. White jade snails are susceptible to mites, nematodes and other parasites, and can be controlled with drugs. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the behavior and state of the white jade snail, and find and deal with the problem in time.
In general, the breeding of white jade snails needs to pay attention to providing a suitable feeding environment and feed, controlling temperature and humidity, regularly cleaning the breeding box, and controlling pests and diseases. Only in this way can healthy and delicious white jade snails be raised.
