The Snail Smallholder kit contains a pen for rearing edible snails at home for your own use. This version is the same width as the standard version but twice the length. The lid is in two halves to make it easier to manage.

Contents: 1 each 36” x 72” panel (lid with 2 hasps) 1 each 36” x 72” panel (base) 2 each 72” x 25” panels 2 each 33 ½” x 25” panels 14 screws (very sharp!)

The Snail Smallholder Kit also includes a book with all the information you need: The Smallholder Guide to Rearing Edible Snails and 12 adult Helix aspersa maxima for breeding (seasonal availability)

note:

All panels are faced with galvanised wire mesh 1” x ½” to keep predators out. All panels except the base are lined with windbreak/ shading fabric to keep the snails away from the metal and reduce light levels. The base may not be necessary if the pen is on concrete or some other predator barrier is present to prevent animals burrowing in.

Crossbars are available as an optional extra to increase surface area. Staple a sheet of heavy duty plastic to each crossbar so that it touches the ground.

Allow 3 weeks for manufacture.
