Very interesting video and I subscribed immediately. Very quickly...do you need to cover the incubator with a lid after putting soil on the eggs? Also can you leave some of the eggs in the pen to hatch for themselves? Your response will be highly appreciated!
Please don't touch the eggs with your bare hands... Get a plastic spoon or better still a gloves. Touching the eggs with your bare hands reduces the efficiency of the egg to hatch.
I subscribed immediately. I'm into snails farming in my backyard too. How often do you clean your pen. I mean the removing of the snails poopoo? Because I can see some poopoo there in the pen.
I think there are many advantages of transferring the eggs to an incubator. One is the fact that it enables the farmer the know how many eggs are hatched outta the total eggs. If the farmer leaves all the eggs where they are laid, big snails can feed on those eggs, that's a loss for the farmer.
As you lifted the leaves, I saw a soldier ant making it's way down through one of the cracks. They kill adult snails to talk about baby snails. Treat the soil and make sure ants can't get in there
You need good management, use good soil and use plantain leave then always watered them every day, but don’t let the water be too much there, good soil, plantain leave, then Good watering 💯🙄
Change the soil to a new one,let it not be too strong or water logged,just slightly moist.Through away those decaying leaves,get plantain or coco leave for mulching.Add fresh leaves,or other food then cover them with the mulching materials.Dont over crowd them,and also provide enough calcium for them.Blessings of the lord rest upon you to succeed.
I don’t know much but I think the baby snails are overcrowded in the basket, and also I’m sure the environment is not conducive for them cos I could see ants in there which is very dangerous to them. I also think it’s not ok to cover them with their feed cos they’re still babies and might not have much strength to climb up from beneath the food and that could also cause them to die
I started with just about 20. Now I'm counting more than 200. If the condition of your pen is very good with adequate humidity, they can lay all year round. Mine took about two month to get used to their new home and that's it, they started laying.
Never dig eggs up. Only transport eggs that were laid on top of the soil and incubate. Do not disturb the already buried eggs. Also check moisture content and temperature of your incubation system.
If you're in a pen,then you can open it up and use a piece of clothe or similar material to fan them away. Afterwards you have to make sure that any holes around the frame of your pen is well covered to prevent entrance.
Maybe they are not eating it in a quantity that makes it unnoticed but doesn't mean they're not eating at all. You should have variety of feed for them to choose from. In this case each snail will feed irrespective of their preference at a given time
