How to raise snails in winter? How do snails survive the winter in winter

Maintaining a certain temperature and humidity in the breeding room and providing sufficient feed can not only relieve the snail's hibernation, but also may achieve the purpose of winter reproduction. The stove can be used in the breeding room, and the iron chimney is connected to the stove, and the chimney is passed out of the outdoor after a circle around the breeding room, making a complete set of thermal equipment, and can also be heated by electric heaters, glass greenhouses, greenhouses and other heating methods to maintain room temperature.

According to the actual conditions, low-cost and effective insulation measures can be adopted. The room temperature of the feeding room should be controlled between 20 and 30 during the wintering period, not less than 15. In a temperature-controlled rearrange, there is a certain temperature difference in different places, and the temperature near the heat source is high, so the young spiral can be rotated in the higher temperature section.

The water in the greenhouse evaporates quickly, so pay attention to changing the water and sprinkling the water. You can often put hot water in a basin to let it evaporate and increase the humidity of the air. In addition, in order to prevent air pollution, proper ventilation is required.

Notes:

In the natural environment, snails will find a burrow under the roots of the tree as a place to sleep in the fall, and then seal the opening of the shell with a layer of mucous membrane mixed with lime, which hardens to form a membrane that protects the shell from foreign objects.

This dura, known as the upper diaphragm, is slightly breathable and allows the snails to breathe and survive, and by the winter all the snails will fall asleep soundly.

When the snail survives the winter, it will burrow into the soil layer 25cm deep, and then retract the soft body part into the shell, and use its own mucus to form a membrane to seal the shell mouth (the membrane leaves a fine crack to meet the normal breathing activity of the snail), during this period, the snail does not eat or drink, and the metabolism is very slow.

1. Snails survive the winter

1. When the temperature is too low in winter (around 12-15), the snail will enter a dormant state.

2. When snails are dormant in winter, they often drill into the soil layer 25cm deep (generally the lower the temperature, the deeper the soil is drilled) to avoid death due to the sudden drop in temperature. The snail then retracts its body into a spiral shell and seals the shell mouth with a membrane of mucus secreted by itself (which leaves a small crack in the membrane to meet the snail's normal breathing activity), which can not only avoid water loss, but also block the invasion of foreign enemies.

3. The hibernation period of snails is generally about 5 months, during which time snails do not eat or drink, neither grow nor reproduce, and their metabolism is also very slow. It is known that in the 20-25 environment, the snail heart beats about 30-40 times per minute. Whereas, in the dormant state (environment), the snail heart beats about 6 times per minute.

At 0, the snail's heart beats about 2 times per minute.

2. Snail dormancy factors

1. Low temperature. When the temperature is below 12-15, the snail goes into hibernation. When the temperature drops below 5, the snail is at risk of freezing to death. When the temperature drops below 0, the snail freezes to death.

2. High temperature. When the temperature is higher than about 33-36, the metabolism is enhanced, and the body emits more water and heat, and the energy obtained from ingesting food can only supply metabolic needs, and even cannot meet metabolic needs, so the snail enters a dormant state. When the temperature is higher than about 40-41, the snail is killed by heat.

1. How to raise snails in winter.

To raise snails in the winter, you need to pay attention to the temperature changes, and the temperature is too low to cause the snails to enter hibernation. When the temperature is lower than 15 and higher than 33, it is dormant, and below 5 or above 40, it may freeze to death or heat death. If the temperature is below 18, you can build a shed and put some straw on the ground.

Second, how to deal with the environmental sanitation of snails.

Snails like a clean and clean environment, so we should pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the feeding box, generally clean it once every 3 or 4 days, clean up the food residues and snail poop in the box, and give the snail a clean environment. In addition, put some leaves, branches, etc. in the box so that the snails can crawl and play on it. But be careful to spray the box with water to keep it moist.

The top of the box should be covered with a cover made of barbed wire, give full ventilation, and prevent the harm of natural enemies such as rats and mosquitoes, especially to prevent the invasion of its largest natural enemy mites, and disinfect the breeding environment with peracetic acid dilution every 1 week.
