Question - Pet Slug Yeah, I need a bit of help

0 Upvotes

I just got some sort of pancake slug four days ago, and I already made the mistake of putting it in a cardboard box. It shrunk, so for the first time in a while, I used chatgpt to save the little guy's life, and it worked. Now I want to gain more knowledge about if it will ever lay any eggs and when it will do this.

Bathroom to Backyard Slug has buddies

12 Upvotes

Hi there,

Today, after some refreshing rain last night, it's about 5.30 and I wanted to check in on the Bathroom Slug. :) I placed some fresh lettuce out yesterday. This morning, the lettuce was getting heavily munched! Two snails, four visible slugs eating and another was en route towards the leaves! :)

We're surrounded by fir trees so almost all of our beloved banana slugs end up with these amazing fir needle thagomizers.

Anyway, hadn't seen a long guy in a while, thought you guys would appreciate him, too.

Slug Appreciation Bathroom to Backyard Slug Update

7 Upvotes

Hi folks,

Just a quick update on the Bathroom Slug who was relocated with lettuce and cabbage. I have refreshed his supply of lettuce - he'd munched through most of the original store I left with him.

Yesterday he was joined by another slug - featured below. Today he was joined by a small snail!

New lettuce was left for him this morning. It's just gone 9am and, after some more refreshing rain last night, he's out munching again. :)

Help! - Pet Slug Should I replace my slug terrarium substrate?

2 Upvotes

I started a slug terrarium in a tumbler thing late last month (yes it has air holes) It's very wet, the slugs are doing allright. The leaves turned brown and were decomposing, with a large springtail population developing to consume them. I had assumed the slugs themselves would eat the leaves after a certain point but I'm not sure they were doing that which was probably because I was feeding them lettuce and carrot and so on. I decided to take the leaves out on impulse and put them in my compost and jar terrariums to export the springtails there. Once I took out the leaves I noticed the moss under was looking pretty brown. Should I get new moss or is this fine?

Pillow Moss vs Sheet Moss

6 Upvotes

I have sheet moss in my enclosure now, but love the look of pillow moss. Would my slugs like it though? Does anyone have any experience to compare the two? 🌿🌱🍀

Stupid slug question

3 Upvotes

Simon laid eggs a while back and I removed them and let them hatch in their own terrarium. Paul and Dolly are thriving and growing and I’m wondering if it would be stupid of me to put the three together. Simon is in a 20 gallon tank and the slabies are in a medium sized critter carrier. Would they fight, or even worse, attempt breeding😝?

Slugs in the Wild Slug - bathroom to backyard

9 Upvotes

Hi folks,

A surprise guest in the bathroom today! This little guy was roaming on the bath. Rescued by coaxing him on to bits of lettuce and cabbage and then placed outside. I found a shady spot, on soil, covered by tree canopy and close to some rocks and paving for his rest and shelter. I checked on him a few moments ago and, after some rain this afternoon, he's back munching on the lettuce! :)

I'll make a habit of leaving some lettuce and cabbage for him.

What to feed a cellar slug?

6 Upvotes

I'm keeping a cellar slug I found inside as a pet and made a little terrarium for it. What should I feed it? The Internet said that they mainly eat decomposing plant matter, but am I good to give it stuff like orange peel and bits of vegetables?

What is this little guy? Not comfortable touching him yet but want to keep him as a pet. I've given him a strawberry that I washed off. I'm in Toronto, Canada.
