I have 4 slugs all what i believe to be smooth land slugs. Ive been feeding them lettuce and cucumber but ive been wondering if i sould give them something with more protein. Im not sure if they really need it but i was going to give them a little bit of cooked egg yolk (unseasoned) and see if they'll eat it. Just wanted to know if this is safe to do or if i should just give them veggies only instead

I have had my threeband slug for 2 weeks. The first week I didn’t have any soil but a week ago I added, soil, moss and several logs and plants. The slug buried into the soil immediately and that was the last I saw of him. He only seems to eat mushroom, so I do notice some bite marks on there some mornings. I didn’t sleep well yesterday so I was up checking the tank periodically and I didn’t see him at all. I have several isopods who were very active… How do I know if he’s alive or doing well? It’s hard to dig in the soil because I have plants or moss or chia seedlings or logs everywhere… also don’t want to disturb the isopods!

I recently got a cellar slug and have a fourth grader at my school help care of it. I have the student wear gloves while handling the slug, but was curious if it’s necessary. If he washed his hands thoroughly before would it be okay for him to hold the slug without gloves? This is Irma the slug btw :)

i’ve had a couple slugs i saved from being thrown away at work and just wanna make sure this one doesn’t die. i think it was a little bit too warm for the slugs before and i wanna do it right this time.

Hi! For as long as I can remember I’ve a had a pretty negative reaction to slugs. I realised that it was an irrational fear of mine when I realised that I can handle snails just fine (I’ve touched them and picked them up before to relocate them somewhere safe) but slugs are completely different. If I accidentally touch one I start panicking a LOT.

I love animals though. I don’t want to be scared of slugs. So, tell me,

What’s your favourite thing about slugs? Tell me why they aren’t actually scary and why they’re so nice. I really want to see the beauty this community sees in these lil guys

Santa Cruz Mountains CA. Moldy morel in my back yard provided a feast for this chonky boi.

I currently have two banana slugs, and they're relatively living fine, but I've been concerned that I'm not feeding them properly. One of them has decresed slightly in size after about two months of caring for her. I've been feeding them cherry tomatos, apples, and mealworms for protien. However, I don't know if this is exactly the best diet for them or if/how I should blend some of these foods together to make a snail/slug mix. Any recommendations? O:

Found a massive leopard(?) slug in my backyard and I’ve kept it in my terrarium for a few days. Is there a better way to care for it? The cage is pretty tiny but he can stretch out fully in the long direction. I’ve been moisturizing the cage every few hours with a squirt bottle since I don’t have anything fancy. What foods do they eat? I notice that the other slugs eat dandelions and their leaves. I also have a tiny millepede in there with him as well. My room is heated mostly all day and night as I also have two rabbits.
