I tried it last year for about a week and gave up.

Boy the process of caring for them is not only killing,but also time consuming.
How many months do they even use to grow very very big

what do you suggest I do about it?

If your Backyard is not floored with Concrete, cut the bottom of that Container you put them, then look for a Net to cover the Top so that they won't move away while foraging at night.

Then regularly sprinkled water on them and make the soil almost humid with water otherwise they will hibernate once there is no humidity in the soil.

As for Food, they eat almost everything but avoid salt and salty stuff. Paw Leaves, Paw Paw, Garri, eba left over, Amala left overs are good too.

Snail farming doesn't require attention as much as poultry. You just didn't find the passion for it.

If you want to be rich like Dangote, don't go into farming (Obasanjo, 2023).

Re: My Snail And Vegetable Backyard Garden by DeBiafran: 5:11pm On Jun 26, 2023
I suggest u keep them under a shade, preferably, a tree. Then put the bucket inside a carton to insulate the bucket. You can also use the carton to wrap round the bucket if u cant put the bucket right inside. Afterwards, avoid rain/water from destroying the carton.

Nice work. Don't give up; see to the end.

These species are never going to grow very big like the huge ones that are sold in baskets (A. achantina species) but they can grow up to the medium size of those ones within 6 months of consistent feeding.

So far so good, they ate the leaves as seen, they're doing well so far

It is best to keep some fluid around the snail house to prevent pests such as insects, soldier ants etc. from ravishing your snail.

Normally, you can place the snail bucket inside a wider container and fill the wider container with water. That way, no parasite will be able to come in. E.g. see illustration below.
