It doesn't take a lot of money and effort to get a clam aquarium with snails. After all, snails eat almost everything, do not take up much space, do not cause allergies, live a long time, and get sick very rarely. Moreover, you do not need to walk with a snail, this animal does not bite or scratch, and if you plan to go on vacation or a business trip, you can safely leave the snail alone for a long period of time. However, if you wish, you can even take it with you.
- A snail house can be made from any glass or plastic vessel, the volume of which must exceed five liters. The snail should not be placed in a cramped vessel. Close the top of the snail house with a lid so that your pet does not crawl out. Small ventilation holes must be made in the roof, which are necessary for free air circulation.
- A soil mixture with a large amount of sand is suitable as a soil for a snail, however, you can use coconut substrate or ordinary moss. The soil layer in the house should be such that the snail, if necessary, can completely bury itself in it. At the bottom of the house - under a layer of soil - a layer of expanded clay should be placed: this precaution is necessary in order to avoid waterlogging of the soil.
- In order for the snail to lead an active lifestyle, it is necessary to maintain a constant comfortable level of humidity and temperature in the molluscan. The comfortable temperature for snails ranges from twenty-three to twenty-seven degrees. The air humidity in the molluscan must be consistently high, so the walls of the vessel in which the snail lives must be sprayed from a spray bottle several times a day. Dry air often causes the snail to lose its activity and hibernate. Do not forget to put a small one in the shellfish. A flat bowl of water in which the snail will swim and drink. The water in the bowl should be changed as it gets dirty.
- If you want to learn how to properly care for your snails, try making your own shellfish diet. Snails eat fruits, cereals, vegetables, some green plants, fish food, and egg whites. In order for the snail shell to grow rapidly and remain strong, it needs mineral feeding - chalk, crushed eggshell, calcium glycerophosphate tablets.
