When I built my new run I went to great lengths to make it fox and rat proof. The food dish hangs from a chain in the roof and I didn't take it in at night. Within a short time I noticed there were slug/ snail trails all over it in the mornings so I started clipping it up high at night. This morning I found what I first thought was a snake on it, but no, it was the biggest slug I've ever seen. The question is.... how the hell are they getting to it? They must come through the wire at night but then they would have to crawl up the sides which are about 8ft high and across the underneath of the roof then down the chain. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have ducks. I haven't seen a slug in years!!!

They crawl under our garage door travel about 8 feet across a concrete floor and eat the cats biscuits lol

Yes I do, but it has to be said that they don't last long once the girls have spotted them. I used to keep guinea pigs and would quite often find one in the food bowl there as well.

My girls obviously think it's beneath them to eat slugs, caterpillars and worms- won't touch them

don't know where they think they are going but I often see slug/snail trails up the side of my mum's house as high as her 1st floor bedroom windows and up toward the eaves  nasty creatures

I'm glad it isn't only mine, everyone else seems to say hens and bantams love slugs, mine will dash in, fight over one then drop it in disgust. (apart from worms)

how do they get on my car windscreen ?

they must have a really long journey.

Our house is 3 storey and they can get to the top bedroom window ledge?  Not sure why they would want to, though the view from there is  very good. 

Don't have any probs with them in the chook run though.  Can't imagine how they are getting in that poition.  Any sign of a trampoline?
