says... Do rats eat slugs? (I'm starting to see rats sniffing around my veggie patch...) If they eat slugs, I will rejoice! TIA JD They certainly eat snails, especially during winter. They also eat worms and completely stripped one of my compost heaps before I twigged! Slugs I am not sure, I can not see why not but having watched my hedgehogs ignore them I begin to wonder if anything eats them from choice!! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

A pinch of salt will do. -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |

TIA JD Rats are renowned for being capable of eating almost anything of any vague nutritional value so slugs are a distinct possibility. Slugs may not be their first preference though. Stephen |

Slugs I am not sure, I can not see why not but having watched my hedgehogs ignore them I begin to wonder if anything eats them from choice!! Badgers eat them in Winter when other protein is scarce, according to a nature prog on the tv last night. They even climb trees to find them! So looks like I might be in luck.. I reckon that if badgers eat 'em, then rats probably will.. Cool! I'd never have guessed a rat invasion would my garden's salvation... JD |

My cat used to eat 'em and then puke them up later on in the house.
Alas he is now dead  |
