Yes my hermanni do sometimes eat slugs. Yuk.

I'm sure Sandy is right but there is an infinite supply of snails and slugs here. If I kept boxies they might get fat!

It's a clay soil, usually lots of rain and wet but mainly mild winters. When we do get a really hard winter the mollusc population plummets.

Yes I can see that but mild winters...! your mild is our frozen wasteland maybe !!!

I don't mind them eating the slugs but I do feel sorry for the snails. Not sure why but some of them are pretty small and its like a rabid fest on them by the Horsfields, CB

There is something quite cute about hedgehogs eating snails though. I nearly rescued on today from one of my girlie Horsfields. But then thought of my hosta's. CB
