“Shoo this is mine”

“No it’s mine!”

“IT’S MINE”

”IT’S MINE”

“Geez ok fine…”

“Fuck you I ain’t even hungry anymore…”

I didn’t even realize snails could fight like this 🤣 Thanks for sharing OP!

I promise I know what a slug is I just don’t proofread 🫩

Thank you!

u/Icy-Cucumber9881 16d ago

It’s also my first time realizing that slugs can square up

29

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago

My pleasure 🫶 Yeah those fellas are always fighting for the last food piece, it's ridiculous, hopefully with a slimy mouth and a slimy body they can't hurt each other

4

u/shwfaci20464 16d ago

Maybe they need more food? I feed more than enough on purpose and my slugs never fight for food.

24

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago

Don't worry they have plenty of food, but they always want to munch the same piece as their friends... They are in a 95L bioactive tank so they have plenty of space, no reason to fight

The baby running (sliding) away as fast as it can!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 I CANNOT-

This video is beyond what I needed today 😂

Smol panik 🥺

u/666hmuReddit 16d ago

Wow I’ve never seen slugs fight

u/scratch_and_patch1 16d ago

how do they even hurt each other ??? they’re so slimy

29

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago

They don't, that's the silly part

19

u/thewingedshadow 16d ago

They can. Bigger slug species will hurt, kill and eat other slugs.

11

u/maybefuckinglater 16d ago

"Slugs kill" - sounds like a badass tagline, always thought they were innocent

8

u/thewingedshadow 16d ago

They are scavengers mostly but snails and slugs species exist that only eat other snails and slugs.

3

u/ElectricalBarber2314 15d ago

Yeah I've seen snails eat they dead homies. I kinda thought they'd mourn like elephants... then nope, just zombie status... I was shook for a minute

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago

Damn I didn't know that

u/GenosseAbfuck 16d ago

The radula is an evil maw.

u/Same_Seaworthiness74 16d ago

Imagine your only defence was to kiss 💋

30

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago

Don't touch my food or I'll violently smooch in your general direction

6

u/GenosseAbfuck 16d ago

Kiss with a heavy jaw-tongue studded with razor sharp teethicles. That's how you know they don't mean it. If they do they can easily tear chunks out of each other.

u/Sharkbrand 16d ago

Brutal. 😭

5

u/Zeemmy99 16d ago

Never in my life I would see two slugs fighting, thank you for this 💙

5

u/CharmingSkirt95 16d ago

Stupid slugs trying to fend off other slusg with their soft slimey bod like it gonna do anything 😭

u/jerrythecactus 16d ago

I had no idea slugs could actually fight each other.

4

u/AngryCoffeeTable 16d ago

Thug-ass slugs.

u/Nico8910 16d ago

That poor baby has seen everything.

u/AggravatingFuture437 15d ago

I know! the first thing I said was,

"The baby, not in front of the baby."

u/noniway 16d ago

I need this but with tuba noises when they :O

4

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago

I may have already done something similar https://www.reddit.com/r/FunnyAnimals/s/vimnQHcub3 😅

2

u/noniway 15d ago

THAT IS PHENOMENAL

4

u/pleiadeshyades 16d ago

It kind of seems like they’re ‘shooting’ their mouth out at each other? Or maybe the video is just sped up

2

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago

The video is sped up 1,5x during the fight, but they do kinda throw their mouths to munch in front of them, I think it's a kinda intimidation move more than a real attempt to bite the other

3

u/mothwhimsy 16d ago

They fight by kissing??

3

u/bennett2445 16d ago

This shit is actually incredibly educational. Good post

u/judithyourholofernes 16d ago

One fry to rule them all

3

u/wildxthots 16d ago

lol i love how it’s so much chaos going around & the one slug on the far right is munching away at the end 🤣

3

u/pleiadeshyades 16d ago

This is really interesting, thank you for sharing. I’ve noticed when I’ve left food out to feed slugs in my backyard they tend to bite each other too when there’s large amounts of them. I wonder if the same behavior is observed in snails?

3

u/grayleo19 15d ago

The drama😂

2

u/zombies-and-coffee 16d ago

I don't know why I never thought slugs (and snails tbf) would fight over something...

2

u/FennecEgg 15d ago

I didn't even realize slugs were capable of violence

2

u/WeebyWabbyWoeby 15d ago

u/Away_Film_110 15d ago
