The only way to get your revenge is to eat them.  I wonder what they taste like, do you fry them, batter and fry them, poach or slip them down whole?

Not that I really want to try!

No  ,  rf,  you  get  a  family  of  hedgehogs  in  !!  they'll  eat  all  the  slugs  they  can  get,  then,  after  the  end  of  "Slug  Fest"  you  wrap  the  hogs  in  clay  &  bake  'em  in  a  bonfire.  The  result  would  astound  you  honestly  !!  Just  crack  off  the  baked  earth  and  the  skin  &  prickles  go  with  it  to  leave  you  with  a  small  platefull  of  meat  on  the  bone.

HONEST  ITS  TRUE  !!

Hrump hedgehogs and eating of slugs.

We have our rescued hedgehog, Arbuthnott whether it's the rescued one or not 😉😉. I leave water, kitten food and hedgehog food out for him, including some in his summer den. What do I find in his saucer but slugs yes slugs - small grey ones and big pale ones helping themselves 😲😲😲. 

Thank goodness for the frogs from the pond. 

Incidently the hedgehog trust say slugs aren't a good food source, gives them ?worms? and mealworms deplete calcium from their bones. Still if my little fella or his mate, who know we have 2 😉, find the odd Mealworm overlooked by the birds or a slug or 50 you won't hear me complain 😃

Edit I did try without success to post this yesterday evening!
