Slugs and snails and semi-slugs are some of my favorite animals! They're incredibly cute and fascinating, and I wish more folks could see that in the little gastropod dudes.

Slugs are the cutest, adorable most lovable animals to ever visit my windows when it rains.

I currently have a slug on my desk (crawled up here somehow) and I fed him part of a cookie. Now he is Mowing through this cookie while I’m listening to the video. He has a big hole in his side. But he absolutely LOVES cookies.

I grew up in an area where I never saw a slug .Now I live where they are plentiful and I became fascinated with them !!!❤❤❤

I'm known by my friends as the snail fan, but it should be known that I love slugs too. 😊

I wanted to know why slug slime is so adhesive to human skin and why it's difficult to remove (even with dish soap). Thanks.

Beautiful video! As well as informative! There is nothing quite like a slug. :D

So cute! Slugs are the best. I have a pet leopard slug named Pumpelmuse. He's adorable. <3

I have been finding slugs on the carpet in my garage early in the morning. (that carpet is dry by the way). I can't figure out why I see them on the carpet and all their slime out there. Recently I've been feeding my ill cat in the garage and her litter box is out there too. Are the slugs attracted to her cat food and water bowl? If they are sharing her food, and leaving their slime where she sleeps, will they make her sicker?? Someone said they have parasites. I'm wondering if those parasites could be making her sick. They are very cute but not in my garage and not if they are making my cat sick. Appreciate any info. Thanks for this video.

I have been getting a infestation of them. I moved into a new house 3 days ago and I have been finding them all over my kitchen. Just went to check my neighbors yard to see where they might be coming from and I found out they have a huge collection of flower pots. Unfortunately yesterday I had googled if they were poisonous and well. Lets just say, I regret what I did. I eliminated over 15 of them crossing into my yard at night (2am), turns out they were interested in my sink. Now I just went to put a big bucket of water and cucumber shavings in the yard. Hopefully they will find it a better option.

I have kitchen slugs that come out at certain times at night i feed them they're good mates 😂

When I first saw a slug back when I was kid, I thought it was homeless. I said to myself, "Poor thing lost his home."

I’m so glad I got over my fear of slugs (and snails as well). There is a lot of cool stuff about them that you don’t see in other animals.

I love how you say it tickles when they try to eat the bacteria off your hand. I love brave people
