Breeding method of white jade snail: characteristics, feeding and feed management of white jade snail 1

White jade snail is an omnivore with a wide range of feeding habits. Common green feeds include: vegetables containing a lot of chlorophyll and various protein, minerals and vitamins, and leaves of some leaves, aquatic plants and leafy crops, such as leaves of Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cabbage, loofah, beans, various fruits and vines, which are all good feeds for snails. At the same time, we should also ensure comprehensive nutrition, do not feed a single feed for a long time, and change a green feed that snails like to eat every once in a while. Realize the mixed preparation of various feeds. Adhere to the removal of residues and feces every other day.

In addition, before the young snails grow to the size of peas, they don't need to be fed with concentrated feed, but they should be fed poorly. Otherwise, your snail will raise a fat garden, which will lead to unsatisfactory individual growth, premature sexual maturity and quality degradation. When feeding the feed, the green feed can be directly spread on the surface of the feeding soil, and then the prepared concentrated feed can be evenly sprinkled on the green feed, and it can be properly wetted by spraying water.

2. How to master the temperature

The optimum growth temperature of white jade snail is 22 to 30 degrees, and it will gradually stop eating within 18 degrees. Some snails will enter a semi-hibernation state within 15 degrees, which may cause freezing damage to them. A small number of open-air snails above 35 degrees in summer will sleep in summer. At this time, they should be watered to increase humidity and reduce temperature. Therefore, where conditions permit, use a sunshade net to block the sun and avoid exposure to the sun, otherwise it will easily damage snails.

3. How to master the humidity

It is required to spray atomized water 1-2 times a day at least, especially during the high temperature period in summer, and attention should be paid to spraying water in time. If the humidity is not enough, it is easy to cause dehydration and shell shrinkage in summer sleep and stop growing.

White jade snail is very sensitive to humidity, which, like temperature, directly affects its growth rate. The humidity standard is: take the feeding soil as an example, knead it by hand and throw it into the sand. We call it. Squeeze into a ball and scatter it into sand? It is advisable to squeeze out the water with a strong grasp without cracking. If the snail shell is white and the attached soil is dry, it means that the humidity is too low and the snail shell is obviously wet. In addition, to keep the feeding soil loose, it is generally required to change the feeding soil once a month. In short, breeding white jade snails should follow the abbreviation of high temperature, high humidity and high calcium? Three highs? Breeding mode!

4. Reproduction and development

White jade snails are hermaphroditic and cross-fertilized. They are more than 7 months old in one month, and mature sexually when the individual grows to about 35 grams. Most snails mate in a double way.

White jade snails mate 1-2 times a year, and each snail can lay eggs after mating, with an average of about 60 eggs each time. The mating time is usually at dusk or at night, but also within a few days. Each mating time is as few as tens of minutes and as many as several hours. It takes about half a month to lay eggs after mating. Stop feeding before labor, choose the place of origin, under normal circumstances, drill your head into the feeding soil and discharge the eggs one by one. White jade snail eggs are oval, milky white or light yellow and shiny.

5. Living habits

White jade snails are good at burrowing into the soil to inhabit, crouching during the day and coming out at night. Its main function is to absorb nutrients, organic matter and calcium, regulate water, temperature and humidity in the body, and prevent enemies from hurting and laying eggs.

Under normal circumstances, white jade snails are very afraid of direct sunlight and are particularly sensitive to light. Its visibility is 6 to 7 cm in low light, but less than 1 cm in strong light. Therefore, white jade snails usually come out for food at night and usually lie still during the day.

6, like warm and humid, grocery

Due to genetic factors, white jade snails are very active in hot nights. It is very sensitive to temperature and humidity, and likes high temperature and high humidity, dark and humid, especially after rain, its activities are more active. White jade snails can still grow and reproduce normally when kept warm in winter. White jade snails are omnivorous animals, mainly green plants, especially the fleshy fruits and leaves of green plants.

In addition: white jade snails don't like to eat food with pungent smell, and snails are most afraid of salt and salty food. The vitality of white jade snails is particularly strong. Cultured snails can generally survive for two months without water and food.

Breeding method of white jade snail: breeding technology of white jade snail 1, preparation of feeding soil.

Choose sandy garden soil with relatively rich and loose humus, and it is forbidden to use garden soil with ant activities or garden soil that has just been applied with chemical fertilizers and pesticides as feeding soil. It is best to expose the breeding soil to the sun and carry out insecticidal and sterilization treatment.

2. How to make white jade snails mate and lay eggs?

Under normal circumstances, white jade snails mate 1-2 times a year, but some white jade snails just refuse to mate and lay eggs. The main reason is that the gonad of snail is inhibited, which does not promote its estrus development.

(1) Increase the proportion of animal feed and mineral feed with high content in protein.

The proportion of concentrated feed is: rice bran 40%, wheat bran or corn flour 30%, soybean meal 13%, dry yeast 2%, fish meal 5%, shell powder 10%. Methionine and lysine can be added appropriately when conditions permit, which is of great benefit to promoting gonad development.

(2) Increase the illumination appropriately.

People often say that white jade snails like black and fear light. In fact, the life, growth and reproduction of white jade snails also need some light. If left in a dark environment for a long time, it will greatly inhibit their mating and spawning. Therefore, white jade snails should not be stored in dark environment for a long time, but should keep 10 hours of light every day, especially red light. If necessary, it can be moved directly outdoors, but direct sunlight should be avoided.

3. Hatching of white jade snail eggs

After the white jade snail lays eggs, it can't directly touch the snail eggs with hands because of the protective film on the egg surface. It is necessary to collect eggs in time with a spoon, put them on the feeding soil with a thickness of one centimeter, then cover the feeding soil with a thickness of about one centimeter, and then spray water (fog) twice a day. In this way, it hatches in about 12 days at a temperature of about 25 degrees. The higher the temperature, the shorter the incubation time.

Breeding method of white jade snail: breeding technology: white jade snail is hermaphrodite and hybridized. As long as the temperature and humidity are well controlled, artificial breeding can reproduce all year round.
