Hi-Nic- As I mentioned, the smaller one was at first weigh in circa 400 G . A week later it was up to 450g. Since then it’s not been seen in garden, although our dog goes daft around the garden next day . It seems to be a bit of a glutton, as I’ve been feeding it dogfood. Circa 50g /day. I think it’s telling me something.
At the bottom of my garden I built a five foot fence to keep my dogs in ( it’s since been raised to stop JRT/Yorky getting over). Beyond that there’s a six foot fence with gaps. Inside this area there’s a lot of tree leaves etc and we’ve also been known to chuck the odd chunk of grass cuttings in this space – ideal from my reading of a home for Hogs. At the bottom of the panels, I’ve installed barge /gravel boards, and in one corner there’s a large gap. Every evening ,I push a plant pot holder filled with dog food ( circa 3″ dia ) into the gap, and every morning the holder is pushed out into the garden minus food. I have not seen any signs of slugs for a long time. I’d suggest that this little one an off spring of the larger one, as it seems to follow the paths the large one took.
