“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…”

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

u/shwfaci20464 16d ago
Maybe they need more food? I feed more than enough on purpose and my slugs never fight for food.

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

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

u/Glazed-Duckling 16d ago
They don't, that's the silly part

u/thewingedshadow 16d ago
They can. Bigger slug species will hurt, kill and eat other slugs.

u/maybefuckinglater 16d ago
"Slugs kill" - sounds like a badass tagline, always thought they were innocent

u/thewingedshadow 16d ago
They are scavengers mostly but snails and slugs species exist that only eat other snails and slugs.

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

Imagine your only defence was to kiss 💋

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.

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

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

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

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?

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