Looks good, well done 1. Hope that bucket has holes under for water to escape/sip off? Otherwise overtime it'll get muddy with a foul smell and they will die 2. Ensure you protect them from rats otherwise they could all be wiped off in a day. 3 you will need great deal of patience, they don't grow that fast to table size, they require months 4. They are Prof when it comes to escape, cover them with heavy stuff The above points were from my personal experience. 6 Likes |

Zubby2005: This is a bold step but remember dedication is the key. - Get a big bowl and transfer them there. For me where you put them is too small. - You need more soil and it must be treated against ants, spiders and whatever that will harm your snails. - You need to feed them dried egg shells coz it serves as calcium for them. They love egg shell. Just try it. - Remove those sticks asap as they can attract ants. You only need one ant to locate your snail house and snails are in danger. - Although snails can eat almost anything, you still need to study what's best to feed them and what not. *I fed some snails waterleaf and I noticed they all lost considerable weight.* - Secure you snails from preys and don't expose them to much sun. Make sure their soil is always moist. - When they start laying you will feel accomplished but that's just the start. - Always pay attention to your snail. - Beware of soldier ants by any means necessary. So, protect your snails. Good luck and Remember DEDICATION is the key! 5 Likes |

Best snail food: pawpaw, water Mellon, casava leaves, water leaves... Don't play with this, if you take it serious, you are making it big in the next 1yr. |

Zubby2005: Stop giving them leaves. Give them african bread fruit or oranges. Remember to feed them in the evening/ at night |

So far, so good; The snails were previously doing fine the all of a sudden, the ran away from me. I've search but no avail so I decided to buy those big ones from the marketplace specially for rearing and see how it goes. The reason for escape was there was a space opening which they slipped away from, so always ensure you close the lid with little ventilation or net so that they can't escape. I'll update the thread later on my progress, thanks 2 Likes |

Re: My Snail And Vegetable Backyard Garden by Olaolex: 9:15pm On Jun 26, 2023 |
inoki247:Yes that's right. Everyone knows that large scale farming requires a very serious attention to avoid gbese (debt). I'm planning to go into cash crop farming, coconut precisely. Though I don't know anything yet about it but when I'll get proper training and mentorship as soon as I acquire the land for it. Honestly, farming pays. With patience, hardwork and consistency, the profit really worths the stress. 1 Like |
