@mellin. .where can I get Hybrid snail? |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by FarmTech(m): 5:32pm On Apr 14, 2015 |
LONGFELLOW02:.. Hybrid snail? I've not heard about that oo. Better go with the common ones around us because there is market for them. Anything different might be difficult to sell. I am waiting for the day when there will be 6 months broiler snail. |

FarmTech: Boss check it nw. . . Hw can someone be nursing snail for less than 2years and sell it @ =N=50/one. . Shoo Is their any feeds that can make snail group big under 6months or 8months. |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by FarmTech(m): 11:27pm On Apr 27, 2015 |
LONGFELLOW02:.. I don't think there is. But the price is ok because if u can raise 10,000 snails u get 500k. It's all about volume and you can also combine it with other businesses. There feed is close to free too. |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by LONGFELLOW02(m): 8:27pm On Apr 28, 2015 |
FarmTech: hmmm,That sound cool. .Ve you ever heard successful story 4rm snail Farmer? Do you think it will be easy To sell 10k snails? Do you ve a snail Farm? I'm making a Plan on hw to build my own snail farm that's why am asking all this question. |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by akhis: 12:40pm On Apr 29, 2015 |
LONGFELLOW02: I dont somuch think your assumption is correct. A grown up snail sells more than 200 per one. If you go to restaurants and other common places you will realize average price is high. Selling on volume is key and you will definitely sell volume if you even make your price as low as 150. Now take it this way. You have 4000 you raised in two years which you could easily, check the volume. Snail farming is not a quick way to make money but a very sure way on the long run 1 Like |

LONGFELLOW02: Sorry, my error, I mean two years. |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by FarmTech(m): 5:23pm On May 02, 2015 |
LONGFELLOW02:.. Actually, I've not seen a big snail farm b4, but don't be suprise that there might be, but in one bushy area or so. Selling the snails won't be sth u do all at once, u may sell in batches. Right now I too is planning to set up a small snail farm. The ones I have now are in a bowl. |

Bro,how long does it take for a snail to be matured also what type of snail would one get that produces lots of egg annually ? |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by akhis: 1:13pm On May 10, 2015 |
The major issue affecting people to involve in snail is DURATION. It takes up to 18 to 24 months for a snail to grow to maturity from the point an egg is layed. Most people aren't ready for that. Most people also believe it's a doll business party and as such, don't want to get along with it. But for me, the best is to have it along your normal farm. Since it doesn't require much attention and cost almost as zero to feed, tlyou can then get it along your normal farm activities before you even notice. Before you known it, it's a year, two, three or more 2 Likes 1 Share |

I have posted my appeal on various threads on snail farming but haven't received any response. I need the Achatina achatina species that lay up to 100 eggs in one batch. I have been farming the local species I got from the bush market, but they usually lay only about 10 eggs at most in a batch. Anybody that can help me get this Achatina achatina species should please contact me with th 1 Like |

LONGFELLOW02: You can easily sell 4000 snails but u might not sell all at once. But its doable |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by yazz09(m): 8:48am On Jun 24, 2015 |
I am a snail farmer, and for the question that most of you are asking. It's possible to harvest really big snails in less than 8months. Let me paint a scenario for you, how long does it take a fish to mature in the wild? About two years or so, now people that have fish farm harvest same fish in 3 or 4 months. The only difference is that they give the fish formulated feed. Same for chicken, and also same for snails. The only difference is that snail feed cannot be bought in the regular animal feed shop. If anyone is interested I'll send the feed to you at a price per kg. I'll not give out the formula here, so don't bother to ask. I can ship it to were ever you are in Nigeria. Show your interest and I'll drop my bbm pin 1 Like |

kunlesufyan:go to feed millers and ask for snail feed formula |
Re: Pictures: My Snail Farm by BELEXYFARMS(m): 7:40am On Jul 16, 2015 |
yazz09: So irritating... Im so sure u know next to nothing about heliculture and u are just a newbie in it with a small backyard farm and few hundred snails. Successful farmers do not need to ask for money before sharing info to other potential farmers. Do u think u urself will not need some more information again. What will it cost you to share the formula to fellow snail farmers? Will it reduce ur snail farming or will it cause ur snails not to sell in d market or will it bring badluck to ur snail farm? everything in life should not be about greedily making money. 17 Likes |

BELEXYFARMS: Yes you are right, I have a backyard farm. But every information I gathered before starting I paid for all of them. Nigerians always want to get everything for free. My dear if you don't want to buy just stay on your own, am not forcing you to buy. |
