Does anyone have experience of how well autofeeders cope with slugs?

My garden has lots of slugs ranging from the tiny (1cm long) to the huge (10cm long, 1cm diameter) and on damp nights they are all over the food dishes inside the “feeding hut”, all over the hut interior, and they block the hut occupancy sensors. I’m worried that the slugs would block, or “slime glue”, the mechanism of an autofeeder. Any thoughts/views based on experience would be welcome!
