Hi Goldfish61
Some hogs eat slugs when there is other food available – so not as a last resort. It just depends on the hog. Slugs can carry lungworm, but that doesn’t mean that all of them do. It wouldn’t be possible to stop hogs in general from eating slugs if they wanted to eat them, even if you kept the slugs away from feeding areas. But as mentioned previously the hogs don’t eat those really big slugs and tend to ignore them – a bit difficult for their small mouths – they tend to prefer the small or medium ones.
