What's the need for the separation?

1. It allows for easy sorting
2. The older ones may cheat the younger ones of food
3. The older ones are capable of eating the younger ones

Wow, learning all the way, so it's actually compulsory to have more than a pen or to compartmentalize the pen?

Hi Roolnaado, has the mortality rate decreased by now. If not, quarantine the snails. Isolate them from the pen housing them before. After which, clear and clean the pen with jik, allow it for days, then reintroduce the snails.

Hi, you stack tyres on each other say 3 or 4. U put a net on the one before the topmost to prevent a jailbreak. U would have put some soil in the last one beneath. Can send a picture when I'm less busy. Hope U understand though?
Having a shade is not a bad idea but the tires provide a shade with the snails staying in the inner parts of the tyres. The stack also provide shades for them.
Please it's very true you can farm snails anywhere but you really need to know the technicalities to be able to do anything to still be on course. That tire will provide shade is* not really true sirs. *Listen to me, *never use tires* except it's under shade. Tire is black and black is a great absorber of heat. And that will make the inside too hot for convenience for snails to be productive and may heightened mortality, if touched by direct sunlight. Now technically speaking, best temperature for snail jolliment is between 25 - 28 degrees Celsius. Go put your thermometer in the one you place in the Sun and you will be reading 35-and above. *A killer temperature!*
Well the devastating thing is the rapid temperature fluctuations that occurs when that happens. So be careful sirs and tread with caution. Happy Snailing!

N200 could be seen as high but it is also moderate, however, its a function of many factors, like size, species, source, condition, pedigree, etc


Wow.... If it's 200 NGN each, then how many could you possibly buy? I'm equally in Port Harcourt. Where precisely are you?

no you don't need to put any plastic. as a matter of fact they enjoy scrapping the concrete wall as they gain extra calcium from it.

just leave the way it is and mks sure it's well covered and well ventilated.

Hi I'm in PH how can I reach you. I started small backyard farming. I want to get Broodstock to start proper farming my email is jswart_ng@yahoo.com

@ Urbangrow,
Sorry about your bad experience but I can tell you that all hope is not yet lost.
I noticed some things that are not Ok with ur snail farm, which if corrected will set you on a growth path.
I started my snail farm last year November with just 10 snails, presently I have over 300 snails and I was forced to expand the pens last month.
If you can drop your phone number or other contact, I will get across to you to give you some tips.

Good day sir, pls wat type of breed is ur snail nd where did you get it from. Tanks

From what you said, too much of light (provide cover dried leaves) and lack of nutrient (especially calcium). If from the start it's like that, then you must have brought in stressed snails as breeding stock. All the best. Lets hear how it goes.

Re: Snail Farm Begins - The Birth Of A Farm by Jydooosa(m): 9:14pm On Sep 17, 2016
Do you intend to go into Snail farming?
Are you an existing Snail Breeders and need affordable fortified Kola-testa, Pkc plus other 15 components for your Snails?
Do you want to learn how to source for Loamy soil and soil treatment?
Do you want to join our Whatsapp forum for commercial snail breeders
Or would like to vist our farm to see firsthand thousands of snails?
Don't look further.
Do you need Point of Lay Snails? Mature Snails? Eggs and Hatchlings?
JIFF SNAIL FARMS is the solution.
