That is interesting Kitty878. I’m sure I have the world’s largest collection of slugs and snails in my garden, but fortunately have a pair of thrush that enjoy smaller snails which helps a bit.
I am interested because I believe the smaller (crunchier) snail shells are a good source of calcium, and snails a good source of various vitamins.
I have no knowledge of such, just my opinion from keeping chickens actually.
Recently I have seen gi-normous slugs going into the hoggies’ biscuit trays. At first glance I thought they might be mice, they are so big! Strangely they don’t go into the wet food.
These huge slugs are the orange bellied type, supposed to be good for eating decayed stuff in the garden I’ve heard. I haven’t seen the hogs eating anything except the food provided though.
