Gbemiie: As i said, i have built a snail pen for them to be able to comfortably accommodate the number i have now though i started with a basket to kick the whole thing. I just put some sand(preferably loamy sand) in the basket and put the snails in it. I feed them with peels of pawpaw, water melon, palntain, cabbages, lettuce which i get free from sellers and i also feed them with water leaf occasionally. 2 Likes |

cococandy: In all honesty, it's not a business one can depend on for now. For instance i don't plan to start selling my snails for at least two years when i would have grown the farm exponentially. For someone who is unemployed, he might not have the patience for the farm to mature neither would he have the funds to grow the business. for example it cost me 25k to build their snail pen when the numbers were increasing and i know it will cost me a least 200k to prepare the land(minus cost of the land) that i am going to move the snails to when they start multiplying through birth. Some species of snails can lay up to 500 eggs a year so i know that within a short time i would have to invest more money if i want my snail farm to thrive. But the important lesson is that if i didn't take that first step and spent that one thousand naira i won't have a snail farm today which if well managed could be worth millions in a couple of years. 6 Likes |

okwyee: You don't need much money to start a snail farm, I started mine with only one thousand naira. I personally caught my first almost two hundred snails that I started my farm with, you can do the same and use the money you have to construct a cage for them. 1 Like |
