Young snail fry

Breeding features

Snail fry appears from snail eggs, grown on open farms (in open natural enclosures) or closed type (with the maintenance of appropriate temperatures and other developmental features in a special room).

For the development of snail fry in natural open-air cages, a certain variety of rapeseed is grown, which the snail will eat.

In closed enclosures, an artificial climate is created and maintained with the necessary humidity, temperature and lighting, as well as providing the necessary level of nutrition for the snail.

Snail fry food

Snails are herbivores and eat almost all plants, with the exception of those containing essential oils. Snails love greens (lettuce, parsley, spinach, etc.), vegetables and their tops (cucumber, zucchini, radish, carrot, pumpkin, turnip, etc.), fruits and their peel (apple, berries, pears, cherries, peach, etc.), flowers (sunflowers, chamomile, cloves, lungwort, asters, dandelion, etc.), cereals (barley, oats, etc.). Snail fry are fed mainly with a certain variety of freshly germinated rapeseed.

Calcium is a must in the diet of snails, since snails giving birth spend the calcium of their shell on fry, which must be replenished.
