No thanks. Once they get that big they can fend for themselves!

I did drop a small slug into the pond last year. The water boatmen
swarmed over it - I could almost see them biting chunks out of it
before a frog popped up and took it in one bite. I'll be checking
later in the week to see if I still have frogs in the pond - they'll
probably devour a lot of the taddies if there are. Usually by now,
though, they've moved back into the big heap of bark chips I keep
beside the pond for them. The other side of that heap are my hostas.
Never have a slug problem with the hostas!
